Europa League Round of 32: Arsenal, Chelsea Get Easy Draws

Premier League sides Arsenal and Chelsea have been added easy opponents in the Round of 32 fixtures of the Europa Leagues.
Arsenal play Bate Borisov of Belarus, while Chelsea – who won the competition in 2013 – take on Swedish side Malmo.
Most of the two-legged ties will be played on the 14 and 21 February 2019.
Arsenal’s home second leg will be on Wednesday, 20 February at 17:00 GMT.
The Gunners and Chelsea were both seeded for the draw, meaning they host their second legs and teams from the same city cannot play at home on the same night.
The timing of the fixture is to avoid a clash with the Champions League games taking place later on that Wednesday.
Arsenal and Chelsea both finished top of their respective groups, each winning five and drawing one of their six matches.
The Gunners are facing the same opponent they met in the group stage of last season’s competition, winning twice – 4-2 in Belarus and 6-0 in London.

Jurgen Klopp storms onto pitch and rages at Liverpool star after Chelsea lows

Jurgen Klopp  made a beeline for summer signing Xherdan Shaqiri and gave him some animated feedback on his performance in Liverpool’s defeat to Chelsea on Wednesday evening. The Reds took a second-half lead at Anfield in the Carabao Cup through Daniel Sturridge, but were stung late on by a tap-in from full-back Emerson before  Eden Hazard scored an incredible solo goal to put the visitors into the next round. At full-time, Klopp exchanged pleasantries with Maurizio Sarri and the Chelsea bench, but then walked onto the pitch to seek out Shaqiri. The Swiss star had a rather frustrating evening, wasting a number of chances on the break as Chelsea pushed for an equaliser, and Klopp seemed furious with his winger.
