Which Premier League teams have qualified for the knockout rounds of the Champions League?
The Champions League league phase culminates next week in the final matchday of the round, with teams looking to make it into March's knockout stage.
Only the top eight qualify automatically for the last 16, with places 9-24th entering the play-offs and two extra games to book their place in the next round.
Next Wednesday will be the final chance for teams to seal their fate, so which English teams have already qualified for the knockouts and what do the others have to do to secure their place?
Arsenal
Wth seven wins out of seven in the competition, the Gunners are the only side who have already booked their place in the final 16.
The win over Inter at the San Siro last time out kept up their perfect record and firmly put them among the favourites for the competition.
Mikel Arteta's side have also seen off Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid in the league phase, and so far, have only conceded two goals. They finish against Kairat, where it's likely Arteta will use the dead-rubber to rest several key names.
Knockout status: Already qualified
Final fixture: Arsenal vs Kairat.
Liverpool
It may have been a disjointed season for the Premier League champions, but they've overcome two setbacks in this league phase and now look dead certs for a top-eight place.
After beating Inter at the San Siro on Matchday 6, Arne Slot's side saved their best Champions League performance for their trip to Marseille, where they swatted away the dangerous French side with a 3-0 win.
With a home time against Qarabag to come on the final day, you'd expect the Reds to book their place in the next round automatically.
Knockout status: 4th, a point should be enough to make the top eight.
Final fixture: Liverpool vs Qarabag
Tottenham Hotspur
Despite their dismal league form, Tottenham somewhat surprisingly sit inside the top eight of the Champions League table ahead of the final matchday.
Tottenham have lost only one of their seven games so far, which was against reigning champions PSG, and have saved their best performances for European nights.
Last time out, they gave Thomas Frank a much-needed restbite from the perils of domestic worries, as they beat Dortmund in North London, and a point against Eintracht Frankfurt will see them through.
Knockout status: 5th in the league, need a point to qualify

Newcastle
The Magpies got a much-needed season booster with a polished performance against PSV, and the 3-0 win has put them in a great position to avoid the play-offs.
Eddie Howe's men have saved their best performances for the Champions League but would prefer not to play in two extra games and secure automatic qualification.
However, they will need to take something from their final game to make sure, and it doesn't come much tougher than a trip to Paris to play the reigning European champs.
Knockout status: 7th, need a win to make sure of top eight
Final fixture: PSG vs Newcastle

Chelsea
Liam Rosenior made the ideal start to life in the Champions League, with a win over Pafos, and it's set Chelsea up for a chance at making the top eight.
Right now, only goal difference is keeping them in the automatic qualification places; nothing less than a win in the final game will be the aim.
However, the Blues face one of the toughest final round games, as they travel to Italian champions Napoli, who will be desperate for a win, or they could exit the competition altogether.
Knockout status: 8th, need a win to hope their goal difference can secure a top eight place.
Final fixture: Napoli vs Chelsea

Manchester City
Pep Guardiola's men were at the wrong end of one of the Champions League's biggest upsets of modern times on Matchday 7, as Bode/Glimt took advantage of an injury-hit and fragile Manchester City.
The Norwegians bested the 2023 winners 3-1 in the Arctic Circle, leaving City with work to do in the final round of the league phase to avoid a play-off and two additional matches.
It's been a frustrating campaign so far for City, who also dropped points to Monaco and Bayer Leverkusen, and now only a win will do when they welcome Galatasaray to The Etihad.
Knockout status: 11th, need a win and hope others slip up around them to make sure of automatic qualification.
