Three draws will technically take place on Friday 17 March; the quarter finals, the semi finals - knitting together quarter final ties - and a final draw to decide the 'home' side in the final for administrative purposes.
Each quarter final tie made is paired with another tie, with the two winning teams facing off in the semi finals.
It is an open draw, meaning there are no seedings and teams from the same country can be drawn against each other. Sides who faced off in the group stage can also be paired.

Who host UEFA's draws?
UEFA draws are often hosted by journalist Pedro Pinto, who has worked for CNN International and the founder and CEO of sports communications agency Empower Sports. He was formerly the chief of press at UEFA, working alongside then president Michel Platini.
Before the balls start spinning, proceedings are generally thrown over to Giorgio Marchetti. The Italian is a long-standing UEFA official and presides over each draw alongside a former star of the European game.
