Europa League Group K opponents and dates

Liverpool have been drawn alongside Steaua Bucharest, Napoli and Utrecht in Europa League Group K.

It means Roy Hodgson's men will face a reunion with Andrea Dossena in a first ever meeting with Diego Maradona's former club.

Liverpool took on Steaua back in the 2003-04 season when Gerard Houllier's men secured a 2-1 aggregate success in the UEFA Cup, second round.

Djimi Traore got the all-important away goal in Romania before Harry Kewell netted in a 1-0 triumph at Anfield as the Reds notched up a landmark 50th victory in the competition.

The clash with Utrecht will also see us play our first competitive match against the Dutch side, for whom current goalkeeping coach John Achterberg featured for prior to his move to Tranmere Rovers.

Liverpool will start off their Europa League Group K campaign with an Anfield clash against Steaua Bucharest on Thursday, September 16.

The first away trip for Roy Hodgson's men will be Holland and a visit to Utrecht on Thursday, September 30.

The Reds will complete their Group with an Anfield return against Utrecht on Wednesday, December 15.
