Former England head coach Steve McClaren's new club FC Twente have been paired with Arsenal in the third and final qualifying round of this season's Champions League...

Steve McClaren took up the reins at the Dutch club earlier this summer, having been out of work since being axed as England boss following the failure to qualify for this summer's European Championship finals. Twente finished fourth in the Dutch league last season and qualified for the Champions League via a play-off.

Liverpool take on Belgian opposition as they seek to make it through to the group stages, as they face Standard Liege, who won the Jupiler League title last term. Should Rangers get past FBK Kaunas in the second qualifying round, they will play either Danish side Aalborg or FK Modrica of Bosnia.

Draw:
Anorthosis Famagusta or Rapid Vienna v Olympiacos
Vitoria Guimaraes v IFK Gothenburg or FC Basel
Shakhtar Donetsk v Domzale or Dinamo Zagreb
Schalke v Atletico Madrid
Aalborg or FK Modrica v Rangers or FBK Kaunas
Barcelona v Beitar Jerusalem or Wisla Krakow
Levski Sofia v Anderlecht or BATE Borisov
Standard Liege v Liverpool
Inter Baku or FK Partizan v Fenerbahce or MTK Budapest
FC Twente v Arsenal
Spartak Moscow v Drogheda United or Dynamo Kyiv
Juventus v Tampere United or FC Artmedia
SK Brann or Ventspils v Marseille
Fiorentina v Slavia Prague
Galatasaray v Steaua Bucharest
Panathinaikos or Dinamo Tbilisi v FC Sheriff or Sparta Prague
