Manchester United were today paired with Celtic, Villarreal and Aalborg in the Champions League group stages. Does this represent a relatively easy beginning to the defence of United's European crown, and will Celtic be able to progress from the group stages for the third year in succession?
Meanwhile, Liverpool face perhaps the toughest group of the English sides, drawn with PSV, Marseille and Atlético Madrid. Will they be able to pick up their poor early season form as Fernando Torres returns to play his former club Atlético?
Arsenal will be confident of progressing from Group G - which contains Porto, Fenerbahce and Dynamo Kiev - but their young team will first have to take on a couple of tough away trips, while Chelsea will probably be the happiest of the British clubs, with Roma, Bordeaux and CFR Cluj in their group. But which British team will progress the furthest?
