Did Arsenal finally drop out of the top seeds then? Surprised PSV were top seeds, or is that just written in the wrong order? Poor City just keep getting handed tough groups whilst United waltz back in with an easy one(Wolfsburg aside).

Something else that wouldn't surprise me: we draw Club Brugge, and the pundits keep banging on about how Man Utd beat them easily - which completely ignores how Brugges were missing four of their first-choice midfield through injury, and two of the injured players are their main goal threats. That's the equivalent of them beating an Everton side missing Barry, McCarthy, Barklay and Deulofeu, and it's somehow surprising that they play better with those players back in the side.
According to Transfermarkt, two within the next couple of weeks, one by early October, although one is unknown. Based on that, the third round of fixtures on October 22nd will see at least three of them back in the starting lineup.
Don't know anything about them, will it make a big difference to them, by that I mean is there a big difference in class between first and second choice players.
Am secretly hoping they draw Liverpool and beat them
New seeding system. Champions of top countries got put into pot A.
Having both their captain and midfield enforcer out injured was always going to weaken the spine of the team, while the two attacking midfielders that were out scored 15 and 19 goals in all competitions last season, so their attack was blunted.Don't know anything about them, will it make a big difference to them, by that I mean is there a big difference in class between first and second choice players.

So that guarantees a 3-3 draw against a Premier League team when everyone's fit, then...
Were the players injured in the last round when they beat Panathinaikos 3-0?
Ah, thanks. Surprised UEFA have made that move but it's a good rule to stop gifting the teams in the richest leagues the easiest draws.
Lazar Markovic is set to join Fenerbahce on a season-long loan, a year after joining Liverpool for £20m.
I trust the various journalists and pundits will vilify Liverpool for spending so much money on such a high profile flop...

What are this weeks lottery numbers please?
Funny how the usual suspects aren’t talking about how de Gea has earned a move to a better club, how he’s outgrown Man U and how Man U are being selfish by holding back his dream move. I say this as a Spurs fan, obviously, but as an outsider it does make British sports journalism look seamy. Writers and commentators working for major media outlets should not be taking backhanders as PR people for the clubs they cover. Very, very poor.

PSG have supposedly had a £20m bid for Seamus Coleman turned down by Everton today.
That's half of their defence getting tapped up before the game!
West Brom have agreed a £6m+£2m in add-ons deal with Man Utd for Jonny Evans.
It's not clear who's paying who, though.

Evans is a good defender. If it weren't for his injury record I'd have been happy if we signed him.
