Champions League Groups Draw this evening at 18:00CET (5pm UK)
https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleagu ... 68286.html

for a series of reasons (*) Liverpool are in Pot3
as last season runner-up, they pose the biggest "threat" for top teams in Pots 1&2
and they risk themselves to pick big rivals from upper pots

see the 4 Pots in the abovelinked UEFA article, or in Kassies' site https://kassiesa.home.xs4all.nl/bert/ue ... l2018.html

in Pot4, despite a bad season start and not great results in recent seasons cups (miserly crashed out of EL 2 seasons ago alongside Saints https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016%E2%8 ... ge#Group_K )
Inter still represent the biggest obstacle to pick

ruling out ENG & ITA teams from top 2 pots, a possible group of death is still in the cards
e.g.
Real/Barça
Dortmund (Porto/Benfica/Waxtap)
Liverpool
Inter

or Bayern Porto Liverpool Inter
__________

Europa League Draw scheduled for tomorrow at 13:00CET instead (noon UK)

Arsenal and Chelsea top seeds, Burnley face a dire task tonite vs Olimpiakos to overturn 1st leg 1-3 defeat they suffered in Pireus (a 2-0 would do)
in case, they'd very likely be in Pot 3

(*)
- Benfica survining playoffs vs PAOK, and taking their Pot 2 berth
- the recent rule that Pot1 is reserved for top Associations Champions only
- Real (CL TH) and Atletico (EL TH) taking away 2 Association Champions spots, as TH non having won their League, leaving thus only 6 spots
- Russia being 6th in 2018 rankings https://kassiesa.home.xs4all.nl/bert/ue ... k2018.html ahead of Portugal and Ukraine
  (had POR or UKR been 6th, their Champions would have been in Pot1 in place of Lokomitiv, who'd have dropped in Pot4 makin 'Pool "ripple-up" 1 pot)

Pot 2 doesn't look too bad for Lpool, Dortmund aside. Hopefully their Group won't be too difficult as it could mean rest\rotation for the big guns?
