We wonder will the most likely games come out of the bowl on Monday?
With the group stage done and dusted for another season, thoughts turn to the last 16 and the knockout phase. The eight group winners and the eight runners up will now be drawn against each other, in a ceremony that begins at 11am and will probably finish just before it gets dark.
But the snag is that teams who were paired in the group stage can’t play each other again and neither can teams from the same country. That narrows down the chances and odds of who can play who and a very clever fellow called Mr Chip has calculated just what the percentage chance each team has of playing each othr, non restricted, team.

So Arsenal are most likely to get Bayern (again) while Manchester City should, if the maths work out, face Dortmund.
And the tie that you will see and decide you won’t watch of a minute of should be Schalke v Monaco.
Keep this handy for Monday.
