In addition to these tough assignments, Brendan Rodgers' side will also battle with Polish side Legia Warsaw.

West Ham, meanwhile, should have a more straightforward time of things, having drawn Dinamo Zagreb, Genk and Rapid Vienna.

The Croatians were among the teams out of Pot 1 that Hammers fans will have fancied their chances against.

While Belgians Genk and Austrians Rapid provide winnable match-ups for David Moyes' team.
