A look at how the sides set to face British clubs in the UEFA Cup are faring in their domestic leagues.

Atletico Madrid (to face Bolton Wanderers)
Racing Santander 0-2 Atletico Madrid

Panathinaikos (to face Rangers)
Panathinaikos 1-0 Veria

Slavia Prague (to face Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday February 14th)
Slavia remain five points clear at the top of the Gambrinus Liga, as domestic football does not resume until February 16th.
The league leaders have made five signings in the January transfer window, including Macedonian striker Goce Toleski and midfielders Marik Jarolim and Jaroslav Cerny.

SK Brann (to face Everton)
Brann will not begin their new domestic league campaign until the end of March, giving Everton the theoretical advantage of added match fitness when the two sides meet.
The reigning Tippeligaen champions have an extra incentive to beat the Premier League high-flyers; Should they knock Everton out of the competition, and Rosenborg triumph over Fiorentina, then the two sides will meet in an all-Norwegian tie in the last 16.
