Liverpool, Arsenal and Aston Villa's Champions League path clearer with play-off results
@Source: mirror.co.uk
The trio of Premier League teams who have already secured their place in the Last 16 of the Champions League are a step closer to discovering their next opponents.
Arsenal, Aston Villa and Liverpool all finished in the top eight of this year's new look competition to avoid the play-off round, which included the likes of Bayern Munich, Celtic and Manchester City.
All three teams were given four potential opponents at the end of the group phase. And with the first round of play-off fixtures now done and dusted, that figure has now dropped to three.
Here, Mirror Football rounds up the state of play ahead of Wednesday night's matches, which will see the picture become even clearer...
Permutations for top eight
LIVERPOOL AND BARCELONA: Will play one of Brest, PSG or Benfica.
ARSENAL AND INTER: Will play one of PSV, Feyenoord or Juventus.
ATLETICO MADRID AND BAYER LEVERKUSEN: Will play one of Real Madrid, Bayern Munich or Manchester City.
LILLE AND ASTON VILLA: Will play one of Borussia Dortmund, Sporting Lisbon or Club Brugge.
