Champions League draw: Tottenham fear Group of Death as Man City, Liverpool and Chelsea made top seeds

Tottenham are the English team most at risk of landing themselves in a Champions League group of death.
Spurs find themselves in Pot 2 after qualifying for the Champions League for the fourth consecutive season, but Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea have all been placed in Pot 1.

As Premier League champions, City are among the top seeds along with the title winners from Uefa's top-performing nations; Spain, Germany, Italy, France and Russia.
Liverpool, as holders, are also bumped up to Pot 1, while Chelsea are back among the best having won the Europa League.

That means both Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, who boast the best and fourth-best coefficients in Europe, are demoted to Pot 2.

Man City	England	106.000
PSG	France	103.000

Tottenham	England	78.000
Ajax*	Netherlands	70.500
Benfica	Portugal	68.000

(*Ajax must beat Apoel in the play-off round, otherwise Lyon will move up to Pot 2)
Teams from the same country cannot be drawn together in the group stage, leaving Tottenham facing one of Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain or Zenit from Pot 1.
Of the confirmed teams in Pot 3, Antonio Conte's Inter Milan or Lyon pose the biggest threat on paper. While Valencia and Bayer Leverkusen are no pushovers.
Even Pot 4 pose significant challenges, with RB Leipzig back at Europe's top table for just the second time and are joined by the likes of Atalanta, who finished third in Serie A last season, and Ligue 1 runners-up Lille.
