UEFA Cup Draw

Last updated : 09 October 2007 By Footy Mad - Editor

Bolton face a trip to face Bayern Munich early next month in the UEFA Cup group stage.

Bolton precede their match against Bayern with an opening home clash against Braga of Portugal, while they will also take on Greek side Aris Thessaloniki and Red Star Belgrade.

Tottenham, who reached last season's quarter-finals before losing out to Sevilla, face more Spanish opposition in the form of Getafe.

The Londoners will also face Anderlecht, the Belgian side they defeated on penalties in the 1984 UEFA Cup final, with minnows AaB Aalborg and Hapoel Tel Aviv providing the other opposition in what looks a favourable draw for under-fire manager Martin Jol.

Everton open against Larissa, Blackburn's first-round conquerors, at Goodison Park on October 25, before a trip to face Bundesliga strugglers Nurnberg two weeks later.

Russian nouveau riches Zenit St Petersburg are next up on Merseyside before they finish with a daunting trip to AZ Alkmaar, quarter-finalists last year.
