Europa League: Manchester United, Liverpool face-off in last 16

"Hopefully it will be one of those games where things go well for us".

Gael Clichy wants Manchester City to win another trophy before Manuel Pellegrini leaves the club in the summer.

The first leg will be played at home, on the 10th of March, followed by the second leg away from home the following week.

Liverpool and United first played each other more than 120 years ago, but they have never faced off in European competition, adding an extra dimension to what past experience suggests is likely to be a feisty encounter.

"He reminds me a bit of [Arsenal manager] Arsene Wenger - very calm, whatever situation we are in he always try to keep the players calm".

Manchester United to face Liverpool in Europa League last 16
Liverpool's manager described the Europa League last 16 draw against Manchester United as a "good" one. Spanish outfit Valencia, managed by Gary Neville , will face La Liga rivals Athletic Bilbao.

"It's great. We deserve these games, with the game yesterday". We had a good game when we lost 1-0 (in the league) but it was not what we deserved.

"One of the reasons we won the Premier League was that we were knocked out of the FA Cup in the quarter-final to Wigan in 2014".

"We know it is going to be a big day out at Wembley but we have to see it as a professional football match as we do every week".

Klopp is well aware of the rivalry between the two clubs and cities but his quip about Manchester when talking about his preparations for Sunday's final was probably not meant as a dig at their north-west neighbours.

But, with pressure mounting on the United boss, they turned the tie around as they recorded a 5-1 victory at Old Trafford - with young striker Marcus Rashford scoring a brace on his first-team debut.

"But we have to look no further than Sunday and put in a performance which can win us the game".

Meanwhile, holders Sevilla travel to Basle - the venue of this year's final - looking for a place in the last eight.

Elsewhere in the draw, Gary Neville's Valencia face an all-Spanish tie against Athletic Bilbao.

Two previous winners clash as Shakhtar Donestk come up against Anderlecht while Villarreal will meet Bayer Leverkusen and Sparta Prague face Lazio.
