All four Premier League sides advanced from the Champions League group stages to reach the last-16 in the competition and find themselves tantalisingly close to the quarter-finals.However, Monday’s draw for the round-of-16 has the potential to throw up some nasty surprises for any one of Manchester United, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur or Manchester City.
6Manchester City
The aforementioned UEFA stipulations means that Pep Guardiola’s men can only be drawn against FOUR potential opponents for the last-16;Atletico Madrid, Roma, Schalke or Ajax.Because of the fact two Spanish sides topped their groups, the chances of City facing Atletico are slightly increased.A trip to Amsterdam is least likely.
6Liverpool
According to statisticianMister Chip, there is a17.190 per cent chance the Reds will be drawn against the side which beat them in last season’s Champions League Final – Real Madrid.The chances of them facing off against Barcelona in the next round is even more likely, with Lionel Messi and co likely to provide a stern test for Jurgen Klopp’s injury-depleted defence.However, the most likely opponent is Klopp’s former side Borussia Dortmund, who are currently sitting seven points clear at the top of the Bundesliga.
6Manchester United
Statistically, Jose Mourinho’s men have exactly the same chance as facing Dortmund as Liverpool or Spurs.The Portuguese boss could also face his former side Porto in the last-16 – the side he won the competition with in 2004.However, it is another former side of Mourinho’s who United fans will want to avoid. Defending Champions League winners Real Madrid have a 17.109% chance of facing United.
6Tottenham Hotspur
In the last ten minutes of Spurs’ last three group games, they were statistically out of the Champions League until they managed to turn it around with late strikes.Last season they were dumped out by Juventus at the quarter-final stage and could be given a chance to avenge that defeat in the next round.There is a slim chance they could face Porto, but (once again) it is Dortmund and Real Madrid who remain distinct possibilities.
