Great draws for the English teams

Well chuffed with our draw. Rennes have some decent players including Ben Arfa, who can be a right nuisance, but it is definitely one of the easiest teams we could have drawn. No worries about distance either. It's a 35 minute flight if they charter a direct one.

Home and away legs have been switched apparently? So they don't clash with Chelsea.

DAMN YOU UEFA

Lacazette been given a three match ban and will miss both legs of the Rennes tie. May whoever made that decision suffer a lifetime of stepping on Lego at night.

Lovely draw for us, even without lacazette we should comfortably go through.

I’d put money on it being an all English final, and with both teams likely finishing outside the top 4 it’ll be a good match.
