Champions League last-16 latest: Most likely opponents for Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool and Manchester City
All four Premier League sides advanced from the Champions League group stages to reach the last-16 in the competition and find themselves tantalisingly close to the quarter-finals.However, Monday’s draw for the round-of-16 has the potential to throw up some nasty surprises for any one of Manchester United, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur or Manchester City.The four Premier League sides will be gunning for the prestigious Champions League trophy6

Only City finished top of their group, meaning they are likely to avoid facing a European giant. The same fate cannot be said for the other three.Due to UEFA’s ruling about clubs from the same country not being able to face each other at this stage, there is a higher probability of some clubs facing each other.Add into the mix that no teams who appeared in the same group can be drawn against each other, and the outcome is becoming more predictable.Here, talkSPORT.com takes a look at just who the Premier League sides are more likely to face.

Manchester City

The aforementioned UEFA stipulations means that Pep Guardiola’s men can only be drawn against FOUR potential opponents for the last-16;Atletico Madrid, Roma, Schalke or Ajax.Because of the fact two Spanish sides topped their groups, the chances of City facing Atletico are slightly increased.A trip to Amsterdam is least likely.City qualified as group winners after a stellar campaign6

Liverpool

According to statisticianMister Chip, there is a17.190 per cent chance the Reds will be drawn against the side which beat them in last season’s Champions League Final – Real Madrid.The chances of them facing off against Barcelona in the next round is even more likely, with Lionel Messi and co likely to provide a stern test for Jurgen Klopp’s injury-depleted defence.However, the most likely opponent is Klopp’s former side Borussia Dortmund, who are currently sitting seven points clear at the top of the Bundesliga.Alisson’s crucial save against Napoli stopped Liverpool from slipping into the Europa League6

Manchester United

Statistically, Jose Mourinho’s men have exactly the same chance as facing Dortmund as Liverpool or Spurs.The Portuguese boss could also face his former side Porto in the last-16 – the side he won the competition with in 2004.However, it is another former side of Mourinho’s who United fans will want to avoid. Defending Champions League winners Real Madrid have a 17.109% chance of facing United.United could only finish second behind Juventus in their group6

Tottenham Hotspur

In the last ten minutes of Spurs’ last three group games, they were statistically out of the Champions League until they managed to turn it around with late strikes.Last season they were dumped out by Juventus at the quarter-final stage and could be given a chance to avenge that defeat in the next round.There is a slim chance they could face Porto, but (once again) it is Dortmund and Real Madrid who remain distinct possibilities.Lucas Moura’s equaliser in Barcelona secured at least two more Champions League games this season for Spursgetty6
