Of the five English teams who have reached the knockout phase, Manchester City have the best chance of reaching the last eight (61.5%).
Winning the group, as four of the English teams have, might seem an advantage but with three of Europe's best five clubs according to the Euro Club Index - Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Juventus - finishing second in their groups, tough draws are likely for some.
Even Shakhtar Donetsk and Sevilla aren't easy opponents as they are among Europe's 17 best teams, according to our ranking.
Prior to the draw, the other four English clubs all have between a 43% and 56% chance of progress to the last eight but these figures could change a lot depending on the draw.
The big five European teams of Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Paris St-Germain and Juventus are obviously the ones to avoid, which is particularly bad news for Chelsea as they have only three possible opponents, two of which are Barcelona and PSG.
Of the Premier League teams, Manchester City have the best chance of winning the Champions League, albeit only 8%. Barcelona are the favourites with about 28% chance of ending the season as Champions League winners.
