The UEFA Champions League group stage draw takes place this afternoon, with English clubs Arsenal, Man Utd, Chelsea and Man City awaiting their fate.

The draw for the group stage of the UEFA Champions League takes place at 16.45 this afternoon.

There are four pots of eight teams, with each group (A-H) consisting of one club from each pot.

Two clubs from the same country cannot be placed in the same group.

Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal are all in the first pot of seeds while Manchester City are in the third pot.

This means that City could potentially draw a 'group of death' such as Barcelona, AC Milan and Borussia Dortmund - German champions from last year.

List of draw pots in full:

Pot one - Manchester United, Barcelona, Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Porto, Inter Milan.

Pot two - Shakhtar Donetsk, Lyon, Villarreal, AC Milan, Valencia, Marseille, CSKA Moscow, Benfica.

Pot three - Zenit St Petersburg, Manchester City, Olympiakos, Ajax, Bayer Leverkusen, BATE Borisov, Basle, Lille.

Pot four - Borussia Dortmund, Trabzonspor, Dinamo Zagreb, Napoli, APOEL, Genk, Otelul Galati, Viktoria Plzen.
