Liverpool face nightmare CL draw

Cape Town - Liverpool, who are finally back in the Champions League after missing out on European football for five seasons, have been placed in pot 3 for the draw scheduled to take place on Thursday.

According to the Telegraph, the Reds have a lower European coefficient than the other English clubs, raising fears that Brendan Rodgers' side could land up in the toughest group yet.

As it stands, Liverpool are certain to play the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Benfica, Atletico Madrid or Porto.

Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal (should they beat Besiktas on Wednesday night) are confirmed as one of the top eight seeds and are likely to face a much easier challenge.
