Who’s through, who has work to do? How things stand for British teams in Europe
There is only one round of group fixtures left in the Champions League and Europa League.
The Champions League and Europa League are both rapidly approaching the knockout stages.
Just one round of group fixtures remain in each competition before the draw for the respective rounds of 16 and 32 on December 16.
Here, the PA news agency takes a look at the implications surrounding the British clubs involved in the two competitions.
Liverpool (Champions League)
Manchester City (Champions League)
City are unbeaten in Group C, with Tuesday night’s 1-1 draw with Shakhtar Donetsk putting them five points clear at the top and securing their place in the round of 16. They are one of eight clubs to make it through to the knockout stages already, with Real Madrid and Tottenham so far emerging as potential opponents after finishing second in their respective groups. Paris St Germain, Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Juventus and RB Leipzig are the other teams to confirm their places in the final 16.
Chelsea (Champions League)
The reigning Europa League champions are currently second in Group H behind Ajax, but are relying on the Dutch giants’ final group game to advance to the knockout stages. Frank Lampard’s side face Lille, where a win would see them through as long as either Ajax are victorious or if their own winning margin is greater than Valencia’s. If they lose or draw, they need Valencia to have the same outcome.
Tottenham (Champions League)
Manchester United (Europa League)
While United have already qualified for the round of 32, their 2-1 loss to Astana on Thursday means they must wait until next week to confirm themselves as Group L winners. A win or draw against AZ Alkmaar would see them top the group, however a defeat would mean they finish second behind the Dutch side.
Arsenal (Europa League)
Wolves (Europa League)
Wolves have already secured their spot in the round of 32 but still have the chance to top Group K. They currently sit just one point behind leaders Braga after drawing 3-3 with the Portuguese club on Thursday. A win over Besiktas next week could see them advance in first place, but only if Braga lose or draw against Slovan Bratislava.
Celtic (Europa League)
A 3-1 win over Rennes on Thursday means Celtic will advance to the round of 32 as Group E winners. Four wins and a draw sees them currently four points clear of second place CFR Cluj, who they will face in their final group game next week. Neil Lennon’s side are one of nine teams to confirm their place so far.
