Aston Villa and Arsenal will fancy their chances of progress, while Liverpool will face a challenge to oust in-form PSG

Club Brugge v Aston Villa

Villa produced probably their worst performance of the season in losing the meeting of the sides in the group stage, Brugge winning 1-0 with a penalty awarded after Tyrone Mings, not realising a goal-kick had been taken, picked up the ball.

They sneaked into the playoffs with three wins but then were much the better side against Atalanta, winning home and away.

Verdict: Narrow Aston Villa win

Liverpool face PSG as Champions League last-16 draw sets up Madrid derbyRead moreBorussia Dortmund v Lille

Lille were perhaps the biggest surprise of the league stage, beating Atlético and Real Madrid and hammering Feyenoord as they finished seventh.

Florian Wirtz’s recent form could be decisive.

Verdict: Narrow Leverkusen win

PSV v Arsenal

Defensively, Arsenal are the best team in the Premier League, and only Inter conceded fewer in the league stage, but they had goalscoring problems even before their front three went down with hamstring injuries.

Inter were the only team to beat them in the league stage and they have lost only twice in the Premier League.

Much will depend on the battle of the Inter wing-backs Denzel Dumfries and Federico Di Marco with Feyenoord’s wide forwards Anis Moussa and Igor Paixão.

Verdict: Comfortable Inter win

Paris Saint-Germain v Liverpool

Top of the Premier League, Liverpool also topped the Champions League group, but they are not playing as well as they were when they outplayed Real Madrid in November.

And while it was a struggle to get there, after one victory from their first five group games, PSG have won their past five Champions League matches, a run that includes the 4-2 demolition of Manchester City.
