Tottenham travel to Cyprus in UEFA cup

Tottenham Hotspur, the first winners of the UEFA Cup in 1972, will take on Cyprus's Anorthosis, while their Premier League rivals Everton face Ukraine's Metalist.

"It's going to be a discovery. It is a team that we do not know at all," Tottenham's sporting director Damien Comolli told reporters.

"Last year was a big frustration for us," Comolli added, referring to their quarter-final defeat by eventual winners Sevilla.

Bolton Wanderers take on Rabotnicki of Macedonia and Blackburn Rovers have been drawn against Greece's Larissa.

The ties will be played on Sept. 20 and Oct. 4.

The 40 first round winners will then be drawn in eight groups of five, with the top three of each group progressing to the knockout phase. They will be joined at that stage by the eight teams who finish third in their Champions League group.
