Uefa Champions League permutations: How Chelsea and Manchester United can qualify for the knockout stages

Tottenham and Manchester City have secured their places in the Champions League knockout stages as winners of their respective groups, and now attention turns to the rest of the English contingent.

Chelsea are in action against Qarabag in Baku today, while Manchester United face Basel in Switzerland last this evening.

Here, Standard Sport looks at what is at stake for the English clubs in tonight’s Champions League clashes...

What Chelsea need

Chelsea will advance to the next stage if they win away against Qarabag in Group C on Wednesday, while a draw would also be good enough if Atletico Madrid fail to beat Roma in Spain.

What Manchester United need

Manchester United would qualify and also ensure they finish first with a draw away against FC Basle on Wednesday. A top-two place in Group A would also be guaranteed whatever their result if CSKA Moscow do not beat Benfica.
