The UEFA Europa League race will include two teams that are being deemed as the favorites to lift the trophy. Curiously , both of them play in the EPL, and they battled each other in an excruciating game on Sunday.
Manchester United, who will be battling St. Etienne for a spot in the Round of 16, and Tottenham, who joined the continental competition after crashing out of the UEFA Champions League, seem to have all credentials to win the tournament, particularly after being drawn against these opponents.
Here's the full list of fixtures for the tournament's Round of 32.
Regardless of this draw, coach José Mourinho seems to remain wary of his team's chances, as St. Etienne could pose a threat upon the Red Devils if they dare to dismiss their chances.
On the other hand, Spurs revealed their joy for not having to travel far away in their Round of 16 matchup.
