Best-case scenario: Porto, Anderlecht, Maribor
Worst-case scenario: Barcelona, Napoli, CSKA Moscow

Spurs failed to qualify for the knock-out stages last year, and Mauricio Pochettino’s men will have to overcome their Wembley hoodoo if they want to advance. Their pot three placing means a couple of tough clubs could fall into their group.
Best-case scenario: Spartak Moscow, Porto, Maribor
Worst-case scenario: Real Madrid, PSG, CSKA Moscow

United’s rich reward for winning the Europa League last season was a place in this year’s Champions League. Jose Mourinho’s side join City in pot two, and while they can avoid the likes of Barcelona and PSG, Old Trafford could play host to Real Madrid or Juventus before Christmas.
