Four Premier League players wanted to advance.
After receiving favorable draws, the four Premier League clubs will be optimistic about their chances of making it to the Champions League knockout stage.
Visits to PSG and Juventus present Man City with their most difficult tests, but their strong team is more than capable of winning.
There should be few issues with the next games, and Pep Guardiola's team is highly likely to advance to the next round of the championship.
On paper, Liverpool's schedule appears a touch more difficult, with matches against Real Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen standing out as particularly difficult challenges.
The Reds should be able to get through the first phase without incident, but trips to RB Leipzig and AC Milan might also be challenging.
After receiving an easy draw, Arsenal should also advance, while Aston Villa might advance if they perform at their peak.
Juventus and Bayern Munich are their opponents, but since both games will take place at Villa Park, they have a stronger chance of winning.
Although Villa's trips to Leipzig and Monaco may be disastrous, they have the ability to come away from both games with victories
