European draw likely to test British sides

LIVERPOOL, Arsenal and Celtic face the toughest ties of the five British teams when the draw for the Champions League knockout stage is made this day next week.

As group runners-up, the trio will be pitted against winners from other pools.

With rules stipulating that clubs from the same country be kept apart until the quarter finals, Arsenal have five potential opponents when the draw is made in Nyon — four of whom have won the Champions League in the past.
