Takes place Thursday. Updates go here.

Should be very interesting to see who we get, hope we get one seemingly weak-er team from the 4th pot. Would be nice to see some fringe/youth get a shot at them like Zilina last season.

[Tomo 21,733]

Any-one got a list of the pots?

[Sheva. 5,373]

Can't wait!

Tough teams we could possibly draw - Ac milan, Valencia, Lille, Dortmund, Napoli.

^ Not the full pots obviously, as there's still qualifying games to be played.

The seedings will be determined once the playoffs are done with. We're certain to be in pot of first seeds.

Nah not Milan, Lille or Dortmund mate, they'll be first seeds as well.

If arsenal and Bayern qualify they go into pot 1 and Milan will be in pot 2 Lille and Dortmund will be in pot 3 because they have low coefficients

Yup just checked, I stand corrected

TBH UCL Group stage and 2nd round draws have been favorable to us in the last 5 years. and here's hoping that luck continues. 4 teams I hope we avoid at any stage of the competition except the final are Barca, Real Madrid, United and Porto.

[Kieran. 6,317]

Wouldn't be nervous about Porto.

[OReillyD36 311]

Napoli could potentially be very dangerous, and there's a chance they'll be in pot 4 assuming Villareal qualify I think

[Sheva. 5,373]

Agree with Kieran. Porto already lost their coach, and their top goal scorer. Could probably still lose their best midfielder to us

Only serious threat there will be Incredible Hulk

Yes they have lost Falcao and their manager but the core of the team remains the same. in addition to that the team spirit, squad depth and quality that made them a competitive force last season simply wouldn't varnish overnight. When we lost Mourinho and a couple of key players in 2007, we didn't exactly become a relegation threatened team did we?

[Madmax 9,219]

Villareal - that's a team I wouldn't like. Very dangerous.

[Guest justin_3d]

Napoli, Villareal, Shaktar, Dortmund and Porto will be a bitch!

[magic weeds 446]

If Man City draw Real Madrid (pot1), Milan (pot2), City(pot3) then some other team, it would be great. lol Poor city in pot3. All non English teams will want to avoid Citeh, thats for sure.
