The Champions League is heating up, with the group stages drawing to a close and the knockout rounds taking shape ahead of 2024.

The final week of group stage matches will see 10 more teams qualify for the next phase of proceedings, while a host more will be sifted into the Europa League – with others simply expelled from Europe.

Arsenal and Manchester City are safely through to the round of 16, and fans can look forward to the draw in comfort.

It’s quite the opposite scenario for Manchester United and Newcastle fans, whose continued participation in Europe remains a total unknown at this stage.

Each team could still progress to the knockout rounds or the Europa League, or they could be dumped out of continental action entirely by the end of Wednesday.

RadioTimes.com has rounded up all the details for the Champions League draw.
