What can happen this week?

Manchester City: The Sky Blues need a win over Borussia Monchengladbach on Tuesday to have any chance of winning the group. If that happens, they’ll need desperate Sevilla to top Juve. The Old Lady swept City in group play.

Manchester United: Simply put, United is through with a win over Wolfsburg on Tuesday, and also if CSKA Moscow beats PSV Eindhoven. A PSV win necessitates a Red Devils win at Wolfsburg on Tuesday, or else Louis van Gaal’s bunch drops to the UEFA Europa League.

Arsenal: Needs to win at Olympiakos on Wednesday, and that win has to be by two or more goals, or by a one-goal margin of 3-2 or higher.

Chelsea: The Blues can advance with a draw or better at Porto on Wednesday, but can also find its way through if Dynamo Kyiv doesn’t beat Maccabi Tel Aviv.
