Reds drawn to play Levski Sofia Liverpool will play Levski Sofia in the third round of the UEFA Cup following the draw in Nyon, Switzerland earlier this afternoon. The Bulgarians beat Israeli side Hapoel Ramat Gan in the previous round 5-0 on aggregate and are currently fourth in their domestic league. The ties will take place on 26 February and 3 March, with Liverpool provisionally drawn to play at home in the first leg. Liverpool's two Uefa Cup rounds so far have involved long trips to Slovenia against Olimpija Ljubljana and Romania to face Steaua Bucharest and now a second-leg visit to Bulgaria beckons. Rick Parry said: "It's another trip to eastern Europe. I think we would have preferred to play the first leg away but we will take it as it comes. "Some very good teams dropped out of the Champions League this time around so there is some tough opposition around. We'll do our best. "When we won in 2001 it was magnificent for us and we'll never forget the final against Alaves which was absolutely fantastic. As we are all about winning silverware we will try our best to go all the way." source: ic Liverpool/Teamtalk
