Liverpool have been handed a reasonable tie for the Europa League Round of 32.

Jurgen Klopp's Reds will face FC Augsburg of the Bundesliga in matches to be played on Thursday 10 and 17 March.

Augsburg finished fifth in the Bundesliga last season but they are struggling this year, 13th in the division with just four wins and four draws from 16 matches.

Markus Weinzierl's side finished second in Group L behind Athletic Bilbao, winning three and losing three of their six matches.

They do boast the competition's joint-top goalscorer in Raul Bobadilla.

Liverpool topped Group B.
