Europa League group stage draw reaction and betting news

Premier League clubs Leicester City and West Ham are among the market leaders to win this season's Europa League following the group-stage draw.

The Foxes are joint-favourites with Napoli at 14-1 to lift the trophy and will face the Italians as well as Spartak Moscow and Legia Warsaw in Group C.

Napoli are 11-10 to come out on top in the group with Brendan Rodgers's side 13-10.

West Ham, meanwhile, are making their debut in the Europa League group phase and are a best-priced 20-1 to go all the way after drawing Croatian champions Dinamo Zagreb, Gent and Rapid Vienna in Group H. They are 10-11 favourites to win their section with bet365.

Rangers are 7-4 to win Group A, which also features Lyon, Sparta Prague and Brondby but bookmakers anticipate a tricky campaign for Celtic, who are 4-1 to finish above Bayer Leverkusen, Real Betis and Ferencvaros in Group G.
