Manchester City will be looking to retain their Champions League title this season and remain in Europe's biggest club competition following their impressive group stage run.
Pep Guardiola's side made it six wins in as many games following their win over Red Star Belgrade and finished top of their group - six points ahead of RB Leipzig. The English outfit picked up their first ever Champions League title back in June following their win over Inter Milan in Istanbul.
Mikel Arteta's Arsenal also enjoyed a successful group stage - also finishing top. The Gunners drew with Dutch side PSV in their final game and will certainly fancy their chances of European glory this season.
The likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich all remain in the competition and will potentially prove to be tough tests for the two Premier League sides.
Mail Sport breaks down when the Champions League last-16 games will be played.
