Wolves have been drawn to play Spanish club Espanyol, Scottish champions Celtic face FC Copenhagen and Rangers take on Portuguese side Braga.
Arsenal finished top of Group F and club secretary David Miles said the last-32 tie was a top priority for the managerless London club.
Miles told BT Sport: “We have played Olympiacos quite a few times.
“We have good friendships. They are one of the best teams in Greece. We know they are strong. We take no-one for granted and will do our homework.

“This could be a route into the Champions League for next year, so I think this will be a priority.”
The Gunners turned in another disappointing display in their 3-0 home Premier League defeat to Manchester City on Sunday, but Olympiacos coach Pedro Martins will pay little attention to his opponents’ domestic troubles.
“It’s a big challenge for us to play against Arsenal, last year’s UEFA Europa League finalists,” Martins told UEFA’s official website.
“They may not have started well in the Premier League this season, but they have great players, are dangerous and deserve our respect.”
