At the halfway stage of the revamped Champions League's new 36-team league phase, who is on track to progress and who could be in danger?
Liverpool lead the way and are well on track to progress in the Champions League - but could Manchester City and Arsenal be in danger of missing out on a top-eight spot?
There has been no shortage of heavyweight clashes, significant shocks and high-quality entertainment.Before we dive in to which teams appear on their way to the knockout stages and who is in potential trouble, here's a reminder of what they are aiming for.They will await the winners of eight two-legged knockout play-off ties featuring the clubs ranked from ninth to 24th.
Before this season's competition, Opta calculated each teams' projected points tallies and likelihood of progressing based on 50,000 simulations of the league phase. However, any team collecting fewer than nine points can expect their involvement in European competition this season to come to an end.They would require just four more points from their remaining four games to be assured of a place in the last 16 and have a 98.8% likelihood of achieving that, according to Opta's projections.
