Liverpool chief Chris Purslow admits they're pleased with their Champions League group draw.

Liverpool have been drawn to face Lyon, Fiorentina and Debreceni in Group E of the Champions League.

"We are very happy," he told Sky Sports News.

"We tend to focus on our travel commitments - short trip to France, short trip to Italy and a slightly longer trip to Hungary - we are pretty happy with that."

Ligue 1 giants Lyon and Serie A outfit Fiorentina have prior experience of life in Europe's premier club competition, while Debrecen are competing at this level for the first time.

The Hungarian champions will be something of an unknown quantity for Liverpool, but Purslow is pleased to see French and Italian representatives alongside the Reds.

"Both have come through the qualifiers, so that means they're doing something right, and I think they are very well known European opponents who won't bring us any surprises," he added.
