WHY This Year Champions League Draw Will Prove Promising Amongst Big Teams by schumastic(m): 11:49am On Aug 28, 2014
Liverpool find themselves returning to the elite continental stage after a 4 year hiatus but could be in for a tough draw as they will be seeded in Pot 3.
There is a possibility of a return to Anfield for Luis Suarez, who moved from the Merseyside club to Nou Camp this summer. A mouth-watering group of death can pit the likes of Barcelona, PSG, Liverpool and AS Monaco all in one group.
The cash-rich owners at Manchester City are desperate for the club to have a strong run in Europe this year, and after an honorable showing in Europe last year, Manchester City has managed to push themselves into Pot 2 and will be expecting a more favourable draw this time around. That being said, they could possibly have to deal with one of Barcelona, Real Madrid or Bayern Munich in the group stage.
Regular semi-finalists and the last English side to win the coveted crown, Chelsea are firmly rooted in Pot 1 and will be hoping to avoid the likes of PSG, Juventus and Borussia Dortmund.
Arsenal managed to secure qualification for a seventeenth year running after defeating Besiktas in the last qualificationmatch last night.
All four English sides will be wishing to avoid the likes of AS Monaco and AS Roma who are seeded in Pot 4 and can have the squads to cause an upset in the group stages. They will also be hoping to avoid long distance travelling to the likes of Russia, Greece and Ukraine.
All this calls for an extremely interesting draw. Be sure to tune in at 16:30 pm UKT
