Who could the Premier League clubs face in the round of 16?

Liverpool finished at the top of the league stage but could face a tricky tie against PSG, who lead 3-0 against fellow Ligue 1 side Brest after the first leg of their play-off. The alternative is facing either Monaco or Benfica, with the latter currently holding a 1-0 lead going into the second leg in Portugal.

Arsenal will face a trip to either Italy or the Netherlands, facing either AC Milan, Juventus, PSV Eindhoven or Feyernood. AC Milan currently trail Feyernood 1-0 heading into the second leg at the San Siro. Juventus, meanwhile, hold a 2-1 lead over PSV.

Aston Villa will take on one of Atalanta, Borussia Dortmund, Sporting or Club Brugge in the last 16. Dortmund look set to go through, leading Sporting 3-0 after the first leg, while Brugge hold a surprising 2-1 lead over Atalanta.

Should Man City beat Real Madrid and make it through to the round of 16 they will face either Atletico Madrid or Bayer Leverkusen.

In the Europa League, Manchester United and Tottenham will face one of AZ Alkmaar, Midtjylland, Real Sociedad or Galatasaray in the round of 16. AZ Alkmaar look very likely to progress, leading Galatasaray 4-1, while Sociedad lead Midtjylland 2-1. The structure of the draw means Spurs and United cannot meet until the final.

And in the Conference League, Chelsea will play either Gent, Real Betis, Copenhagen or Heidenheim. Real Betis have a 3-0 lead over Gent, while Copenhagen trail Heidenheim 2-1.

When are the round of 16 fixtures?

The first legs are on 4/5 March and the second on 11/12 March.
