How to watch Champions League draw as Manchester United and Man City discover opponents

Manchester United and Man City will discover their opponents for the Champions League group stages this evening.

Reigning champions Manchester City will be in pot one as the English champions. Pep Guardiola's side have made light work of the opening round of games in recent years.

United are in pot two for the draw, meaning they cannot face Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Porto, RB Leipzig, Inter Milan or Arsenal. Clubs from the same country cannot be drawn against each other.

Arsenal and Newcastle United are the other teams from England, with both clubs back in the competition after an extended period away. As ever, the draw is highly anticipated and this is how you can follow along.
