1 Everton FC ACF Fiorentina Wednesday 2 March 200. CET (. local time) Round of, day background 2 Squad list officials Domestic information bymatch lineups Contents Competition facts Team facts Competition information Legend background Everton FC have their work cut out if they are to reach the quarterfinals having seen a run of seven straight UEFA Cup wins end at ACF Fiorentina last week. Goals from Zdravko Kuzmanović and Riccardo Montolivo gave Fiorentina a 20 win at the Artemio Franchi Stadium, and they can feel confident as they head into the second leg having not been beaten in four UEFA Cup away games this seasons earning three draws and a 0 win. The game at Goodison Park will be Fiorentina's 0th in the UEFA Cup. Should they win, they would register their 0th win in UEFA club competition in their 0th game. Prior to last week, Fiorentina and Everton had never met in UEFA club competition. Fiorentina have now played five games against English opposition, with the first four all in the /00 UEFA Champions. They drew 00 at home against Arsenal FC in the first group stage but won 0 at Wembley. In the second group stage they met Manchester United FC, winning 20 at home but losing in Manchester. Current Everton player Phil Neville came on as a substitute in United's defeat in Fiorentina but was an unused substitute at Old Trafford. Thus, Fiorentina's record against English opponents reads played five, won three, drawn one and lost one. In England, they have won one game and lost one, but have scored in both of their matches on English soil. Fiorentina's Cesare Prandelli had never faced Premier opponents as a coach prior to last week, but appeared in four games against sides from England in his days as a midfielder with Juventus, playing in two wins, a draw and one defeat. In the most recent of those games, he played a sixminute cameo role in Juve's 0 win at home against Everton's local rivals Liverpool FC in the / European Champion Clubs' Cup final a game best remembered for the Heysel Stadium disaster in which fans were killed.

2 Everton FC ACF Fiorentina Wednesday 2 March 200. CET (. local time) Everton have now played four games against Italian opposition. Prior to last week's first leg against Fiorentina, they drew 00 at home and lost 0 away to FC Internazionale Milano in the / European Cup preliminary round and then drew 00 at home and lost 0 away to AC Milan in the first round of the / UEFA Cup. Thus, their five games against Italian opponents have ended in two draws and three defeats (all of them in Italy). The first battle for David Moyes' side may be to score against an Italian defence, having failed to do so in their previous 0 minutes of UEFA club competition football against Serie A opponents. Everton manager Moyes played against Prandelli's Juventus in his first game in UEFA club competition with his first club, Celtic FC, in the second leg of a /2 European Cup firstround tie. The Hoops lost 20, to cancel out a 0 win in the first leg. Prandelli was on the books at Juventus but did not play in either leg of that tie. Fiorentina central defender Per Krøldrup spent six months at Goodison Park after being signed by Moyes for m in the summer of 200 from Udinese Calcio. However, a persistent groin injury blocked the Dane's path into the first team, and he was to make just two competitive appearances before moving on to Fiorentina in January 200. Everton attacking midfielder Andy van der Meyde could be up against a number of former FC Internazionale Milano teammates if he is given the chance to play, though he has been out of the firstteam picture since the summer following a breach of club discipline. The former AFC Ajax man was a teammate of Fiorentina striker Christian Vieri's at Inter between 200 and 200, and his spell at the club also saw him play alongside defender Alessandro Potenza, though the latter was not a firstteam player. Adrian Mutu may have missed the first leg through injury, but Everton fans might remember him from his time in the Premier with Chelsea FC. The Romanian international scored the only goal as Chelsea beat Everton 0 at Goodison Park in November 200. Everton's Yakubu Ayegbeni scored his th goal in all competitions for Everton this season in a 20 win at Manchester City FC on 2 February and has since surpassed Andriy Kanchelskis's haul of in the / campaign a total which no Everton player has matched or passed since. Kanchelskis left Everton for Fiorentina the following season. Yakubu's hattrick in the secondleg success against SK Brann in the previous round was the first by an Everton player in Europe since Andy Gray's treble against SC Fortuna Sittard in the / season. Everton's Joseph Yobo and Manuel Fernandes are within a booking of a onematch ban, as is Fiorentina's Tomáš Ujfaluši. Fiorentina finished second in Group C to qualify for the Round of 2 where they beat Rosenborg BK on aggregate. Everton beat Brann on aggregate in the first knockout round having won UEFA Cup Group A. The draw for the quarterfinals and semifinals of the UEFA Cup will be held at UEFA HQ in Nyon on Friday March at.00cet. Last updated :0:2CET background 2

Format: If two or more teams were equal on points on completion of all the group matches, the following criteria was applied to determine the rankings: a) superior goal difference from all group matches played; b) higher number of goals scored; c) higher number of goals scored away; d) higher number of wins; e) higher number of away wins; f) higher number of coefficient points accumulated by the club in question, as well as its association, over the previous five seasons Locallytrained players rule: In February 200, UEFA announced that the 'A' list that teams submit for UEFA club competitions will continue to be limited to 2 players, and from 200/0, at least six places on this list will be reserved for players trained by the club's own football academy of which half can be players trained by other clubs from within the same association of the said club. The 'B' list will also continue to exist involving an unlimited number of Under2 players who have been at the club for two seasons. In 200/0 the number of locallytrained players required began at four but the current six will rise to eight in 200/0, with up to half of each figure allowed to be association trained. A clubtrained player is defined as a player who has been registered for a minimum of three seasons with the club between the age of and 2, whereas an associationtrained player is one who has been registered for at least three seasons by the club or by other clubs affiliated to the same association between the age of and 2. UEFA is concerned some clubs are not training enough of their own players, but simply taking them from elsewhere. The proposed measures have the objective of creating a better balance in domestic competitions, preventing clubs from simply 'hoarding' players in squads and creating a system whereby locallytrained players would be given a greater opportunity to play regularly in club sides ensuring a large reservoir of talent for national teams as a consequence. Competition format: Two qualifying rounds produce a first round of 0 teams who play over two legs to find the 0 clubs that make up the group stage. This phase comprises eight groups of five, with each side playing four games, two at home and two away. The winners, runnersup and thirdplaced teams from each section advance to the last 2 where they are joined by the eight thirdplaced clubs from the UEFA Champions. Here, the traditional twomatch knockout format resumes, until the final. The dates for the games are as follows: the Round of 2 takes place on / and 2 February; Round of on and 2/ March; quarterfinals on and 0 April; semifinals on 2 April and May. The 200/0 UEFA Cup final will be held at the City of Manchester Stadium on May. Away goals rule: For matches played under the cup (knockout) system, the team which scores the greater aggregate of goals in the two matches qualifies for the next round. If the two teams involved in a tie score the same number of goals over the two legs, the team which scores more away goals qualifies for the next stage. If this procedure does not produce a result, i.e, if the two teams score the same number of goals at home and away, extra time of two periods of minutes shall be played at the end of the second leg. If during extra time, both teams score the same number of goals, away goals count double (i.e. the visiting club qualifies). If no goals are scored during extra time, penalty kicks determine which team qualifies. Last updated :0:CET Competition information
