Liverpool will be the top seed among some prestigious names when the Europa League third qualifying round draw is made at 12.30pm on Friday.

The Reds have a higher UEFA coefficient than any other side in the hat and so will avoid the likes of Juventus, Galatasaray, Stuttgart or Sporting Lisbon.

These teams are among 30 contenders who will join 40 second qualifying round victors in the Nyon draw.  

Roy Hodgson's quest for a successive Europa final will then begin on July 29, with the second leg a week later.

1 Liverpool FC (ENG) 115.371
