Europes second biggest competition is played on Thursday nights until the final, meaning Liverpool will play many of their league matches on Sundays.
In the past, teams have felt this pattern has been more tiresome than a traditional Champions League, when you play on a Tuesday or Wednesday. Other sides have dispelled this as a myth.
Lets hope Liverpool are believing the latter come May.
Something that could help Liverpool is a fortunate landing of so-called easier fixtures around the Europa League games, the knockout stages especially.
In Group E with Liverpool are LASK, Union Saint-Gilloise and Toulouse. Its a favourable draw in terms of travel, with Austria, Belgium and France very accessible and avoids any longer flights.
