Who Tottenham, Chelsea, Liverpool & Man City play before and after Champions League group games

It won't be long at all before Spurs and Chelsea discover who they will face in the group stage of the Champions League.

The final six teams are now battling it out in the play-offs for the remaining three places to join Europe's best teams in the competition.

The draw for the group stage will then commence at 5pm on Thursday, August 29 in Monaco.

While the pots for the draw still need to be finalised due to the teams trying to make it through via the play-offs, we do know that Spurs will be in pot two and Chelsea pot one.

Liverpool and Man City will also join Frank Lampard's side in the top pot after winning the Champions League and Premier League respectively at the end of the 2018/19 season.

Pep Guardiola's team are the current favourites to get their hands on the famous trophy for the very first time, while Spurs and Liverpool will once again be hoping to make it to the showpiece finale in Istanbul come the end of May.
