Champions league state of play: How Manchester united will make the last 16

IKEJA, Nigeria - Nov. 10, 2023 - PRLog -- The Champions' League group stage is past the halfway point and already some teams have booked their spot in the last-16 knockout games - while others face a major uphill battle in their final two fixtures. Tuesday and Wednesday nights from this point onwards can go from exciting to stressful very quickly, with results elsewhere also impacting on whether clubs might need a positive result on the road or a surprise upset in one of their hardest games. Here we focus on what the Premier League quartet of Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal and Newcastle United either need to do in their respective groups to go through or have already managed to set in stone - along with the rest of Europe's elite.

Manchester United are rock bottom after a chaotic defeat to FC Copenhagen on MD4, meaning they must now almost certainly win at Galatasaray next time out, given their final fixture is against Bayern. The Danish and Turkish teams both have four points to United's three, so it could yet be that Copenhagen vs Galatasaray on the MD6 is decisive. Two wins would guarantee United passage unless the Danes beat both Bayern and Gala.

Arsenal is on the top but not quite yet guaranteed a last-16 spot after beating Sevilla in routine fashion. A four-point lead means they are well on course though and a home win over Lens next time out will seal the job.

PSV and Lens are both on five points, with Sevilla on two, so there's a scrap on to nick second place. Arsenal are away to PSV on MD6, so can still wrap up matters there if they slip up against the French side.
