Hello and welcome to The Independent’s liver coverage of the draw for the Round of 16 for the Champions League.

Only three English clubs remain in the competition following Tottenham’s Group Stage exit, with Arsenal and Leicester City topping their groups and Manchester City finishing second.

However, unlike in previous years, finishing top of your group isn’t necessarily a guarantee of an easier draw.

Holders Real Madrid and five-time winners Bayern Munich are the two to avoid after finishing as runners-up in their groups, behind Borussia Dortmund and Atletico Madrid respectively.

The draw begins at 11am GMT and will be followed by the draw for the Europa League last 32, with Tottenham, who drop into the competition after finishing third in their group, and Manchester United both keen observers.

Spurs are guaranteed to be one of the seeded sides after being four of the best-performing teams coming from the Champions League and will have an easier draw, with their second leg being at home.

However, United, after finishing second, are not seeded and will face a potentially tough draw and a second leg away from home – although they cannot draw Spurs.
