Manchester United have been drawn to face Real Sociedad in the Europa League round of 16, while Tottenham Hotspur will take on AZ Alkmaar.

Enzo Maresca believes he can win the Premier League with Chelsea as he hits back at claims that the club lack ambition.

Who will be rewarded with extra places in next season's Champions League? This is how it works, and which leagues are leading the race.
Chelsea need to arrest a worrying run of results and revive their Premier League top-four challenge, manager Enzo Maresca said on Friday ahead of the weekend trip to Aston Villa.

Enzo Maresca has urged fans not to protest against Chelsea's ownership and said victory in all seven home games will secure Champions League qualification.
