Qualifying Draw Tomorrow

And I'm thinking perhaps I'll travel for one of these games. In the first round of competition, Liverpool's concerns are not as much the team they will face as the travel time - some opponents are in central Asia. One of the preferred matches is HB Torshavn from the Faroe Islands. The Faroes are easily reached by air - a 90-minute plane journey away - and most of their players actually want Liverpool to progress!

'My big problem is that almost all of my players are Liverpool fans,' said coach Heine Fernandez.. 'They will be saying they cannot play in case they get a result against them. They would have no-one to cheer later in the tournament!' HB Torshavn have reached the second qualifying round of the competition before - but only when their scheduled opponents failed to turn up.
