Toon Passports At The Ready!

Newcastle fans will be waiting for the European draw tomorrow - praying for Belgian side Genk and not Metalist Kharkiv of the Ukraine. The draw will be made tomorrow evening in Nyon for the next two rounds of the Europa League. We can all dream of the final in Amsterdam on May 15 . and just imagine the prospect of thousands of Geordies in the Dutch capital. Because of Uefa’s complicated rules, there are only 13 teams Newcastle can face in the last 32, but they could still be sent anywhere from Belgium to Russia. BENFICA - Top of the league, having won 10 and drawn two of their 12 games CLUJ - Romanian champions, who are fifth in the league. DNIPRO - Second in the table in Ukraine, but miles behind Shakhtar Donetsk FENERBAHCE - They are second in Turkey and bitter Istanbul rivals Galatasaray opened up a five-point gap at the top of the table with victory at the weekend GENK - Fifth in the table in Belgium below Newcastle’s Europa opponents Brugges on goal difference. Only beaten once this season HANNOVER - 11th in the table in Germany, without an away win since their first game on the road LAZIO - Fourth in Italy, only below Napoli on goal difference LYON - Won the cup in France last season, fourth one of three teams level on points at top of Ligue 1 METALIST KHARKIV - Fourth in Ukraine, although only two points behind Dnipro OLYMPIACOS - Double winners in Greece last season, eight points clear at the moment. RUBIN KAZAN Last season won the Russian cup, went into the winter break seventh STEAUA BUCHAREST - Ten points clear at the top of the table in Romania. VIKTORIA PLZEN - Czech Republic, two points clear at the top of the table. UNITED'S POSSIBLE LAST 16 OPPONENTS THE draw for the last 16 will also be made in Nyon tomorrow.
