THE Champions League league phase will conclude TONIGHT - with fans treated to a bumper round of action. All 36 clubs will be in action this evening as the race for a spot in the last-16 heats up. Arsenal just require a point against Girona to guarantee a top-eight finish and automatically progress to the next stage.
Aston Villa are in a dogfight for an automatic spot, with victory over Celtic needed to give them the best chance of avoiding the knockout play-offs. Manchester City are unable to finish in the top eight following last week's collapse at PSG, but a win over Club Brugge would secure their place in the knockouts.

It's been four months since Matchday 1 of eight, so let's offer a refresher on how the revamped first stage of Europe's elite competition works. Under the new system, the top eight automatically go through to the last 16 and are seeded with home advantage for the second leg, although there will be separate draws for home advantage for the following rounds.
Those finishing in ninth to 24th will play off next month to join the top eight in the last 16 in March. The teams in ninth and 10th will be drawn against the sides in 23rd and 24th, with the sides finishing 11th and 12th, meeting teams ranked 21st and 22nd and so on.
