Liverpool handed tough Europa draw

Liverpool have been handed a difficult tie against Sparta Prague after the last 32 of the Europa League was drawn yesterday.



Roberto Mancini's expensively assembled Manchester City squad face up to Greek minnows Aris Thessalonika, in a tie that they hope will be the first step towards securing the European silverware, albeit not the Champions League, that is on Sheikh Mansour's wishlist.
