LLiverpool will meet Lille in the first leg of the last 16 Europa League tie in France on Thursday.

In the last round, Lille edged out Turkish outfit Fenerbahce 3-2 on aggregate after a 1-1 draw in Istanbul. Adil Rami's 85th minute strike saw Rudi Garcia's team earn the right to take on Rafael Benitez's men.

They finished second in their Europa League group having tallied 10 points from a pool that also consisted of Valencia, Genoa and Slavia Prague.

Lille play their home games at the Stade Nord Lille Metropole. Formed in 1944, they're nicknamed 'Les Dogues', which translates as the Mastiffs.
