The draw for the Europa League Round of 16 has now been made, and the road to the quarter finals is now set in stone. In terms of quality of fixtures, Brighton vs Roma promises to be the most evenly contested fixture. The Seagulls are up and coming in Europe, with their first campaign leading to a knockout round qualification.
On the other hand, Liverpool have been spared a gruelling trip to Azerbaijan only days before they host Manchester City. The Reds will instead travel to Prague for their first leg fixture against Sparta Prague before hosting City on March 10.
