Quite simply, the eight group winners are seeded while the runners-up are not.

Teams from the same group or country cannot be drawn together meaning City, United, Liverpool and Tottenham will not face each other.

When are the Champions League last-16 games?

The ties will take place on February 12/13 or February 19/20, with the second legs being played on March 5/6 or 12/13.
