Manchester City and Arsenal 7-1 to meet in Champions League final after favourable last-16 draws

Only two Premier League teams have qualified for this season's Champions League knockout stage but Manchester City and Arsenal are both prominent in the betting following favourable last-16 draws.

Holders City, no bigger than 2-1 to retain the trophy, take on 500-1 outsiders Copenhagen and the Gunners' odds of lifting the trophy were clipped from 7-1 to 6-1 after they were paired with Porto.

Copenhagen's qualification from Group A ensured an early exit for Manchester United but the Danes are 18-1 with bet365 to eliminate the other Manchester club in the round of 16.

Arsenal, 10-1 shots at the start of the group stage, won Group B in impressive style and returned to the top of the Premier League with a 2-0 win over Brighton on Sunday.

The Gunners, playing in the Champions League for the first time since the 2016-17 campaign, are 1-6 to qualify from their last-16 tie against 4-1 Porto.

Hills offer 7-1 about an all-English final but 4-1 second-favourites Bayern Munich have a decent draw against Lazio and 14-time European champions Real Madrid, who face RB Leipzig, are 11-2.

Paris St-Germain, who play Real Sociedad, are 14-1 and Barcelona were eased from 12-1 to 16-1 after being drawn against Napoli in the last 16.

Last season's runners-up Inter will face Atletico Madrid in one of the most competitive ties of the first knockout round and the Nerazzurri are 3-4 to qualify at the expense of even-money shots Atletico.

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland is evens to be this term's top Champions League goalscorer. He scored five goals in the group stage, the same number as Atletico's Alvaro Morata and Antoine Griezmann.

Bayern's Harry Kane is 11-4 and Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham is a 14-1 shot. Both England internationals have scored four Champions League goals in 2023-24.
