The draw for the group stage of the CL is taking place later today:


With Barca, Real, Juve and PSG all failing to win their domestic League's last season, there's a few friendly looking pot 1 sides in the draw for Liverpool & Utd and some tricky pot 2 sides for City & Chelsea. Not that I'm expecting anything other than Liverpool to draw Bayern while City get Sevilla.
 
Probably the 2nd hardest pot 1 side we could have got. With the way the draw works, we have a 1 in 3 chance of getting Leipzig too.
 
A tricky draw for us - the 2nd toughest pot 1 side and probably the toughest pot 4 side we could have got. The only real positive is we missed all the long journey's in pot 3. A very easy draw for Utd, ok(ish) for Chelsea and a very tricky draw for City. In a strange way City would have been better off getting a tougher pot 4 side because when you get 3 decent sides and a whipping boy, it basically becomes a shootout from the games vs the top 3 and it leaves you less margin for error.

Tough draw for Leicester but looking forward to playing Napoli, should be a decent game.

Don't look forward to it, you'll only be disappointed. They're not far off being the Italian Burnley - maybe not quite as physical but spend 90 minutes trying to ruin the game. When they missed out on CL qualification I was relieved as we always seemed to draw them - we ended up with Atletico instead :o
