The Reds&#8217; two pot one opponents will be Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Manchester United will also take on Atletico Madrid at the Wanda Metropolitano, while welcoming Harry Kane&#8217;s Bayern Munich to Old Trafford.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Manchester City will face reigning champions PSG. The Citizens also travel to Barcelona, Porto and RB Leipzig in a potentially tricky draw for Enzo Maresca and his team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like City, Aston Villa are set to play PSG in front of their own fans while also travelling to Barcelona. Trips to Galatasaray and Slavia Prague also await the Villains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Find all of the Premier League team&#8217;s Champions League schedules below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-arsenal\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Arsenal <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Real Madrid (home)<br>Bayern Munich (away)<br>Borussia Dortmund (home)<br>Real Betis (away)<br>Lille (home)<br>Napoli (away)<br>Sabah (home)<br>Slavia Prague (away)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-aston-villa\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Aston Villa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PSG (home)<br>Barcelona (away)<br>Borussia Dortmund (home)<br>Club Brugge (away)<br>Fenerbahce (home)<br>Galatasaray (away)<br>Viking (home)<br>Slavia Prague (away)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-liverpool\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Liverpool<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Atletico Madrid (home)<br>Inter Milan (away)<br>Porto (home)<br>Club Brugge (away)<br>Villarreal (home)<br>Fenerbahce (away)<br>Lens (home)<br>LASK Linz (away)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-manchester-city\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Manchester City<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PSG (home)<br>Barcelona (away)<br>Sporting Club (home)<br>Porto (away)<br>Napoli (home)<br>Leipzig (away)<br>AEK Athens (home)<br>Lens (away)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-manchester-utd\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Manchester Utd<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bayern Munich (home)<br>Atletico Madrid (away)<br>Roma (home)<br>Sporting Club (away)<br>Leipzig (home)<br>Villarreal (away)<br>Sabah (home)<br>Como (away)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-champions-league-2026-27-betting-markets\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Champions League 2026\/27 betting markets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paris Saint-Germain begin the defence of a trophy they won the hard way. Les Parisiens saw off Bayern Munich 6-5 on aggregate in the semi-finals, winning a remarkable 5-4 at the Parc des Princes, before edging Arsenal on penalties in the final. 1-1 after extra time, 4-3 from the spot. They head the market at 5\/1 with bet365.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Behind them it is congested. Barcelona, Arsenal and Bayern are all 6\/1, Real Madrid 7\/1 and Manchester City 8\/1, with Liverpool out at 12\/1 after finishing fifth in the Premier League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arsenal are the ones to watch. The Gunners were comfortably the best defensive side in England last season, conceding 27 goals in 38 games and keeping 19 clean sheets, and they came within a shoot-out of the lot. Sides that good rarely drift far. The Citizens, who scored 77 league goals, look a touch generous at 8\/1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For those wanting a bigger price, Inter at 28\/1 and Atl\u00e9tico Madrid at 33\/1 carry each-way appeal, while Napoli and Borussia Dortmund are both 40\/1.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a
