Champions League draw live! Chelsea and Man City discover their quarter-final opponents
Chelsea and Manchester City will find out their fate as the Champions League quarter-final and semi-final draws take place this morning. They are the only Premier League representatives to advance to the knockout stages after Liverpool and Tottenham fell to Real Madrid and AC Milan respectively.

There is nothing to stop the English giants from being paired today in what is a completely open and unrestricted draw.

The likes of Inter Milan and Benfica are also not to be taken lightly after victories over Porto and Club Brugge. Follow the Champions League quarter-final draw live below!
