Liverpool and other Premier League sides in the hat
Liverpool are ball number 7 and enter the draw along with the eight other Premier League clubs competing in European competition this season. These include Manchester United, Manchester City, Sunderland, Brighton, Crystal Palace, Arsenal, Aston Villa and Bournemouth.
