The three English sides still in the Champions League will discover their opponents for the last-16 of this year's competition when the draw is made in Nyon later this morning.
Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal are all seeded in the draw after finishing top of their respective groups and therefore avoid trickier opponents such as Spanish giants Real Madrid, Sevilla and defending champions Barcelona.
However, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan and AC Milan - who all finished second in their sections of the draw - could still lie in wait for any of the Premier League sides as they look to advance to the quarter-finals.
The draw will be made at Uefa headquarters in Switzerland from 12:00 local time (11:00 GMT).
