One in the eye for Jose

Last updated : 18 July 2006 By Adam Bryant
Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal have earned enough UEFA points to warrant a higher seeding, leaving Jose Mourinho's Premiership winners with a tougher draw, and a one in five chance of meeting Barcelona in the group stages.

Rafael Benitez's side still need to win their qualifier, but will then be seeded fourth, behind Barca, Real Madrid and Inter Milan.
