The Champions League’s inaugural league phase is set for an exciting final day with 25 of the 36 teams still awaiting their fate.
All games on the last day of the preliminary phase will be played at the same time on Wednesday, with 16 of the 18 matches having something on the line.
Manchester City are in major danger of elimination after last week’s 4-2 defeat at Paris St-Germain, while Liverpool are through, Arsenal are almost there and Aston Villa and Celtic – who meet – are somewhere in between.
The ‘as it stands’ table will be constantly updating with teams’ hopes potentially relying on other results.
It marks the first season of the new format, a change from the old four-team groups with two going through from each – where sometimes there was nothing to play for by the end.
