Four British Sides In Europa League Action Tomorrow

Tomorrow will see a number of British sides look to do the business in the Europa League and progress from the first round of knockout games with solid performances in the second leg.

Roberto Martinez`s EVERTON look to be the team best positioned to make their way through to the next stage following their 4-1 victory over YOUNG BOYS of Switzerland away from home. Romelu Lukaku grabbed the match ball for the Blues after the hosts went in front following Guillaume Hoarau`s 10th minute opener. Seamus Coleman also got his name on the scoresheet for the Toffees prior to the side`s centre-back John Stones receiving a red card.

Despite missing a key player in Stones, Everton are the favourites to take the second leg at Goodison Park in the 20:05 kick-off. A number of bookmakers (betfred, Bwin, william hill, Totesport) are offering the best price of 8/11 on a home win. Both bet365 and Betvictor have odds of 3/1 on the second leg ending tied after 90 minutes whilst an away win has been priced up at 9/2 by most turf accountants.

Belgian Lukaku is 11/8 (32red, 888sport, unibet) to add to his tally of goals at any time and can also be backed at 35/1 with william hill to grab an unlikely second straight hat-trick in the competition.

LIVERPOOL could only manage to put one goal past BESIKTAS at Anfield and will need a draw or better to guarantee their progression through to the next round of games. Mario Balotelli converted a penalty in the final five minutes against the Turkish club to give his side the advantage going into this second leg.

The Reds are best priced 6/4 to do the double over Slaven Bilic`s men with a win away from home. These odds can be picked up at a number of bookies (32red, 888sport, betfred, Totesport, unibet). A draw is available at 12/5 with most turf accountants whilst a win for the hosts, one that could prove costly for Liverpool, can be supported at 11/5 at bet365.

Balotelli is widely available for backing at 6/1 to grab the opener for the second straight match. Whilst the last encounter only saw Liverpool able to score, the heightened importance of victory here should see both teams hit the back of the net. As a result, Betvictor have installed odds of 5/6 on both teams bagging any number of goals in the 18:00 kick-off.

A sixth minute goal from Roberto Soldado couldn`t help TOTTENHAM see off FIORENTINA in their first leg clash, Jose Maria Basanta levelling up half an hour later to see the two teams go into this match all square. This away goal from Basanta, however, means that a goalless draw would be enough to send the Italian side through and knock Spurs out.

Fiorentina host Spurs in tomorrow`s 18:00 kick-off and are the 11/10 favourites for success in the second leg with this price available at betfred and Totesport. Spurs can be backed at 3/1 with Coral to win in 90 minutes whilst another draw is on offer at 13/5 with a trio of bookies (bet365, Betvictor, sportingbet).

CELTIC came from 2-0 down to eventually draw 3-3 with INTER MILAN at Celtic Park but are 11/2 (32Red, 888Sport, unibet) to triumph in the second leg away from home. An Inter victory is available at the best price of 8/13 (Skybet) whilst sportingbet have 33/10 odds on a draw.

Betfair, betway and Coral have 12/1 on over 5.5 goals being scored again in the 18:00 fixture whilst Rodrigo Palacio is 9/1 (Bwin) to score two or more goals in his second successive Europa League game.
