The five remaining British sides in the Champions League will discover their next opponents on Friday when the draw for the last-16 knockout stage is made.
As group runners-up, Liverpool, Celtic and Arsenal will be pitted against winners from other pools in the draw.
Manchester United and Chelsea topped their groups and should have an easier path to the last eight - and they will also play the second leg at home.
Clubs from the same country or pool and group winners will not play each other.
Last year's beaten finalists Liverpool could face a rematch with defending champions and Group D winners AC Milan, who they famously beat in the 2005 final before the Italian side got their revenge last season.

The Reds could also meet Italian heavyweights Inter Milan, Barcelona, who they beat in the first knockout round last year, Real Madrid or another Spanish side in Sevilla.
Arsenal's prospective opponents also include Barcelona, who beat them in the 2006 final, as well as Real Madrid, AC Milan, Porto or Inter Milan.
"We are prepared for any team that we come up against," defender Kolo Toure told the Arsenal website.
"There is no team that will think they can beat us and it will be easy.
"This stage of the Champions League is always tight because we play away and home but whatever happens we are really confident."
Manchester United's opponents will be drawn from Celtic, Schalke, Olympiakos, Lyon or Fenerbahce, while Chelsea could also meet Celtic, Roma, Olympiakos, Lyon or Fenerbahce.
Celtic could be handed a clash with Group F winners United, while they could also play Chelsea, Real Madrid, Inter Milan, Sevilla, Barcelona or Porto.
The first knockout round ties will take place on 19 and 20 February, with the return legs on 4 and 5 March.
Group winners: AC Milan, Barcelona, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Manchester United, Porto, Real Madrid & Sevilla.
Group runners-up: Arsenal, Celtic, Fenerbahce, Liverpool, Lyon, Olympiakos, Roma & Schalke 04.
Come on United!
