In this post, we are bringing you the Champions League qualification permutations for all six Premier League clubs in what promises to be an action-packed last night of European football drama.

Champions League Qualification Permutations – Matchday 8

All six Premier League clubs have secured Champions League qualification for at least the knockout phase play-offs, with most on course for an automatic place in the last 16.

Here, we take a look at what the English teams will be trying to achieve in Wednesday’s Matchday 8 permutations, plus whether any big names are in danger of crashing out!

Arsenal

Arsenal

After rattling off seven straight wins so far, the Gunners have guaranteed their place in the knockout stage and will almost certainly advance as top seeds barring a bizarre result against Kairat Almaty in London. Arsenal are 7/2 favourites with BOYLE Sports to lift the trophy for the first time.

Is this finally the year Arsenal win the Champions League?

Liverpool

Liverpool

Last week’s 3-0 win in Marseille lifted the Reds up to fourth place and victory at Anfield against Qarabag will see them safely through to the last 16.

A point could still be enough, but Arne Slot’s side, who are 9/1 for a seventh success in Europe’s elite club competition, would then be relying on other results to seal direct qualification.

Will Liverpool qualify directly for the Round of 16?

Man City

Manchester City

City slipped to 11th place after falling victim to a shock 3-1 defeat to Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt and must now beat Galatasaray at Etihad Stadium to give themselves a strong chance of a top-eight finish.

With seven other teams alongside them on 13 points, it could come down to goal difference, so the Blues may appeal at 13/10 to prevail by more than two clear scores.

Top 8 finish and direct qualification for Pep's Man City?

Chelsea

Chelsea

The Londoners laboured to a 1-0 home win against minnows Pafos , which left Liam Rosenior’s side sitting eighth, in the last qualification place on goal difference.

Realistically, though, they must beat Napoli in Italy in their final match to avoid falling into the play-offs and are 5/4 for an away win.

Tottenham

Tottenham

Thomas Frank’s side gave their top-eight chances a huge boost by beating Borussia Dortmund to climb to fifth and a direct route to the last 16 lies in their own hands.

Victory over already-eliminated Eintracht Frankfurt in Germany will guarantee Spurs a place in the knockout stage and they are 20/23 to oblige.

Newcastle

Newcastle

After sweeping aside PSV Eindhoven 3-0 at St James’ Park , Newcastle climbed to seventh and like all the English clubs they are guaranteed at least a play-off place.

However, Eddie Howe’s side face a daunting trip to reigning champions PSG in their final tie and are 4/1 to secure a famous win at the Parc des Princes . A draw, priced at 10/3, would leave them vulnerable.

European Superpowers

European Superpowers Well Placed, But Napoli Need Positive Result

Bayern Munich are 4/1 to lift the trophy for a seventh time after confirming their place in the last 16, while 8/1 shots Real Madrid travel to face Benfica in fine shape as the third-placed outfit.

Barcelona will be looking to move up from ninth with a big win at home to Copenhagen and are also 8/1 to go all the way.

The biggest club in danger of missing out altogether is Napoli , with the Italian champions lying one spot below the play-off places in 25th and available at 2/1 to beat Chelsea on home turf.
