Champions League 2019/20 seedings: Man City, Liverpool FC, Chelsea and Spurs learn pot fate

Manchester City have already confirmed their place in pot one of the draw for next season's Champions League and either Tottenham Hotspur or Liverpool can follow suit tomorrow night.

The Blues landed the honour of a place in pot one for the second consecutive year after clinching this season's Premier League title.

Man City edged Liverpool out by just one point in the title race and joined five other league winners from across Europe.

The winners of the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1 and the Russian Premier League all get a place in the top pot. That means Man City have been joined by Barcelona, Juventus, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain and Zenit St. Petersburg.

However, the winners of the Europa League and Champions League are also guaranteed a spot in pot one of the draw for the following season's competition.

Chelsea defeated Arsenal 4-1 in the Europa League final on Wednesday night to book their place in the top tier and Liverpool or Tottenham Hotspur can join them by winning the Champions League final in Madrid tomorrow night.

The loser of Liverpool and Spurs will have a spot in pot two alongside the likes of Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Napoli and Shakhtar Donetsk.
