Now that the qualifying playoffs are done, the UEFA Champions League will have their group stage draw later today. Here's hoping Chelsea get a favorable draw.

Chelsea got a GREAT draw as they'll be in Group G with Schalke, Sporting and Maribor. Couldn't be happier with that draw and the Blues should cruz to the Round of 16.

For the other 3 Premier League clubs, not as lucky.

Liverpool is in Group B with the European Cup Holders, Real Madrid, FC Basel and Ludogorets. Basel can be a real bitch and they gave Chelsea fits last year (of course Chelsea bought their best player in January - Mohamed Salah).

Arsenal is in Group D (after barely surviving the playoffs) with Dortmund, Galatasaray and Anderlecht. Arsenal should get through but Galatasaray is no push over.

The "Group of Death" is Group E. Bayern Munich, Manchester City, CSKA Moscow and Roma. City should get out, but they tend to shit the bed in Europe so we'll see.

The other groups:

Group A
Atletico Madrid
Juventus
Olympiacos
Malmo

Group C
Benfica
Zenit
Bayer Leverkusen
Monaco

Group F
Barcelona
PSG
Ajax
Apoel

Group H
Porto
Shakhtar Donetsk
Athletic Bilbao
Bate
