UEFA Cup favourites AC Milan have been drawn against FC Zurich in the First Round of the competition. AC Milan finished a disappointing fifth last season and consequently missed out on any involvement in this year's UEFA Champions League - a fact that fans will hope and expect is a one-off occasion. Another match to look out for is Borussia Dortmund vs Udinese.
Former victors Sevilla are faced with Austrian club Salzburg, Valencia travel to Portugal's Maritimo in their first leg while Tottenham face very difficult opposition in Poland's Wisla Krakow. England is the most represented country in the UEFA Cup this season as Tottenham, Everton (v Standard Liege), Manchester City (v AC Nicosia), Portsmouth (v Guimaraes) and Aston Villa (v Litex Lovech) are participating in the First Round.
