Draw favours Reds

Liverpool have been handed a favourable draw in the group stages of the Europa League. The Reds, the five-time European champions, came through a testing play-off against Trabzonspor with a late 2-1 win in Turkey which was enough to put them through 3-1 on aggregate. Roy Hodgson`s side will face 1986 European champions Steaua Bucharest, 1989 UEFA Cup winners Napoli and FC Utrecht in Group K.
