Champions League debutants Tottenham will face holders Inter Milan in the group stages of the competition.
Inter coach Rafa Benitez makes a quick return to England, which will host the 2011 final at Wembley, with Werder Bremen and FC Twente also in Group A.
Manchester United face SPL winners Rangers, Valencia and Bursaspor in Group C and Chelsea take on Marseille, Spartak Moscow, Zilina in Group F.
Arsenal face Shakhtar Donetsk, Braga, Partizan Belgrade in Group H.
Group G is likely to be billed this season's 'Group of Death' with AC Milan, Real Madrid and Ajax drawn alongside each other. The trio have won the European Cup 20 times between them. French team Auxerre complete the quartet.
Manchester United's game with Rangers at Old Trafford could present security problems given the Scottish club's fans rioted in Manchester at the 2008's Uefa Cup final.
An estimated 150,000 Rangers fans had descended on Manchester for the final in May 2008.
"I don't see any reason at all why Rangers fans shouldn't be allowed to go because of the over-hyped bother in 2008," said Rangers Supporters Trust chairman Stephen Smith.
"There were around 200,000 Rangers fans in Manchester for the final and only a tiny, tiny amount, a tiny fraction, were involved in trouble."
United's chief executive David Gill preferred to concentrate on manager Sir Alex Ferguson's close links with the Scottish club and his friendship with Rangers boss Walter Smith, who was briefly assistant manager at Old Trafford in 2004.
"There is the Rangers connection," said Gill, referring to Ferguson's career as a player with Rangers and Alex and Walter Smith go back a long way.
"It will be a great atmosphere at Old Trafford and I remember when we played up there in 2003 and Phil Neville scored a fairly rare goal.
"It will be a great occasion, I've spoken to Sir Alex and he's looking forward to it."
