Champions League table: League phase latest standings as 2024-25 season resumes

Both clubs are well-placed to secure a top-eight finish, with Liverpool in need of only one point from their final two matches of the league phase to avoid next month’s extra knock-out tie, while Villa are in fifth spot on 13 points.

Manchester City follow up their 6-0 win at Ipswich with a trip to Paris to face PSG, with both teams languishing near the bottom of the standings, while Arsenal will entertain Dinamo Zagreb while likely without injured centre-back William Saliba

The teams who finish in the top eight in the league will automatically qualify for the round of 16. Those who finish between 9th and 24th will compete in a two-legged knockout play-off to earn the right to progress, while those who finish lower will be eliminated from European competition entirely.
