It's the English Champions V the European Champions in this season's Champions' League. Chelsea and Liverpool have been drawn together in the same group. Last season, Liverpool and Chelsea played each other in the competition semi-final.

For other British teams, Scottish Champions Glasgow Rangers are in the same group as Artmedia Bratislavia - the team that beat Glasgow Celtic in the qualifiers. Man United play Villarreal - conquerers of Everton in the qualifiers. Chelsea are the favourites to win this season's Champions' League.

Euro re-match for Liverpool, Chelsea

Holders Liverpool will face Chelsea in the Champions League group stages this season as they look to defend their trophy.

Rafael Benitez's side defeated Chelsea in the semi-final last season - with a controversial goal from Luis Garcia the only goal of the tie - before beating AC Milan in the final.

Television replays could not prove if Luis Garcia's goal at Anfield crossed the line, but the goal stood and Liverpool held on for famous win against Jose Mourinho's side.

Belgian side Anderlecht were also drawn in Group G, while Spanish side Real Betis complete a strong group, with Mourinho and Benitez facing a stern test to reach the knock-out stages.

Manchester United will face former striker Diego Forlan in Champions League Group D.

Forlan endured a wretched spell at Old Trafford but has kick-started his career at Villarreal, who beat Everton in a qualifier on Wednesday.

United and Villarreal will also face French side Lille and Portuguese side Benfica.

Arsenal, meanwhile, will face Dutch giants Ajax in Group B, along with Sparta Prague of the Czech Republic and Swiss side Thun.

Artmedia Bratislava, who humbled Celtic in a qualifier, have another chance against Scottish opposition when they face Rangers in Group H.

Both sides, however, will find it tough to get out of a group which also includes 2004 winners Porto, and Inter Milan
