Reds face Euro headache
By Ian Doyle, Daily Post Staff

LIVERPOOL still face a Champions League headache as Slavia Prague have
lodged an official complaint to UEFA over their prospective seeding
demotion to accommodate the Anfield side.

Slavia, who finished runners-up in last season's Czech First Division,
will lose their place as one of the seeded teams should Liverpool make
it through to the third and final qualifying round.

A section of the protest sent to UEFA read: "Conforming to all the
principles of honest sport competition, honoured by UEFA, we think it is
fair for Slavia Prague to remain at the head of the group at the third
preliminary round."

Czech FA secretary general Petr Fousek is hoping UEFA will resolve the
matter as he said: "We respect UEFA's decision and under-stand some
arguments.

"But on the other hand we don't want to see Slavia Prague deprived of
its position."
