IT’S been a superb campaign so far for the Premier League representatives in this season’s Champions League.
Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United, Spurs and Liverpool have begun to shift opinion over English football with a number of dominating performances.

And their success has put them on the cusp of qualification, with the knockout stages within touching distance for all five teams.
When is the Champions League knockout round draw?
ONCE the group stage is done and dusted, the remaining sixteen teams progress through to the two-leg knockouts.
The draw will be made at Uefa headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.
It will take place on Monday December 11.
How can Chelsea qualify?
ANTONIO CONTE’s side will reach the last-16 if they can get a win over Roma on Wednesday evening.
If they fail to do so, it will be a case of picking up maximum points in Azerbaijan, as they visit a Qarabag side they thrashed 6-0 in matchday done.
How can Liverpool qualify?
THE REDS absolutely steamrollered Maribor last time out, putting SEVEN past the Slovenian champions.
They can’t qualify at Anfield in that reverse fixture, as that was their first win in the competition within a tough group.
Three points over Maribor will set Jurgen Klopp’s side on their way, but they do face a tough trip to Sevilla and a home game against Spartak which will ultimately decide their fate.
How can Manchester City qualify?
PEP GUARDIOLA’s goal-hungry side are beating all comers at the moment – and will qualify for the knockouts with a point away in Naples.
City narrowly saw off the Serie A side 2-1 at the Etihad and know a draw will secure qualification with two games left to go.
How can Manchester United qualify?
UNITED have also won all three of their games sit proudly at the top of Group A.
If they beat Benfica at Old Trafford and CSKA Moscow fail to beat Basel, Jose Mourinho’s side qualify.
Even a point would be enough if the Russians lose in Switzerland.
How can Tottenham qualify?
DESPITE being in the Group of Death, Spurs have given themselves a wonderful chance of qualification after a home win over Dortmund and drawing at the Bernabeu.
If they beat Madrid at Wembley, Mauricio Pochettino’s side qualify.
And if Dortmund lose to APOEL in Germany, a draw would be enough for Real and Spurs to sail through to the next stage.
