So all English teams should make it into the first knock out stage, that hasn't happened in the past couple of seasons.

Maybe I'm being too blonde but why are City going to be in the Europa league come the end of the campaign?
Leicester's group on paper doesn't look that bad but this is new territory. It won't be easy. |

man city do coninue to get tough draws in this competition. This's pretty much every season they've had one of the hardest groups.

Must admit I'm not seeing the hugely difficult draw for City that a lot of other posters seem to be. Barcelona speaks for itself obviously, but they beat Monchengladbach home and away last season and Celtic are dreadful.

Think Leicester fans must be slightly dissapointed with their group.
It's the champions league but no standout tie. Porto will win the group but I suppose Leicester can be competitive in the group but can't see them qualifying due the inexperience at this level |

They have more chance than City. Primarily because City won't find themselves in the Europa League at all.
Agreed. City should breeze through that group. |

Whilst it's not the toughest group we've had its still the toughest out of the English teams, again.
God knows how Spurs managed to get such an easy group for Pot 3. To be fair there's that many permutations and who can't draw who with being same countries and TV deals that the options are severely limited compared to what you'd probably expect from a draw. |

Don't get your hopes up. It's very unlikely City will end up in the Europa League and Mourinho thinks the competition is beneath him now so I'd be surprised if he puts out his best team in it.
So they could enter the Europa League, that is not out the question totally. I was slightly being sarcastic, and jovial in nature with what I said, as we obviously don't know our group just yet. |

There's a fair few of the more regular participants missing this year who'd be probably be seeded pretty highly - United, Chelsea, Roma, Valencia, Zenit, Schalke etc - which has maybe had the knock-on effect of promoting teams into higher ranked pots than they'd normally be in.
