The
draw for the Champions League round of 16 takes place in December, with four
Premier League teams hoping to be involved.
When is the draw?
The draw for the last 16 of the Champions League takes place on Monday
December 16 in Nyon, with proceedings set to start at 11am, UK time.
Who's already qualified?
Three teams have qualified ahead of the penultimate round of group fixtures
- Bayern Munich, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain.
Tottenham and Manchester City could both join them on Tuesday, while
Liverpool and Chelsea can follow suit on Wednesday.
Champions League permutations
Tottenham will be through with a win - or if they draw and Red Star Belgrade
fail to beat Bayern.
Manchester City through if they avoid defeat vs Shakhtar Donetsk or if
Dinamo Zagreb don't beat Atalanta. City will finish top if they win - or if
they draw and Dinamo don't win.
Liverpool through if they beat Napoli - or if Red Bull Salzburg fail to beat
Genk. Liverpool will seal first place with a win..
Chelsea will be through if they beat Lille due to their record vs Ajax and
Valencia in a three-team head-to-head.
How does the draw work?
There will be two seeding pots - one consisting of the eight group winners
and the other of the eight runners-up.
No team can play a club from their group - or any side from their own
country, meaning there will be no all-Premier League showdown at this stage.
Seeded group winners will play the first leg of the two-legged ties away
from home.
