Champions League permutations - what do Chelsea, Arsenal & Man Utd need?

The Women's Champions League's inaugural league phase is set for a thrilling finale as teams battle to qualify for the knockout stage.

Last year's beaten finalists Barcelona and eight-time winners Lyon are the frontrunners, occupying the top two places on 13 points.

Women's Super League sides Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United have all secured at least a play-off place for the knockout stages, but a top-four finish for each of them is still up for grabs.

Teams finishing first to fourth will automatically qualify for the quarter-finals, with the next eight teams - from fifth to 12th - facing off in two-legged play-offs to determine who will join them.

The sides from 13th to 18th will be eliminated from the competition.

Barcelona, Lyon, Wolfsburg, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Juventus have also secured at least a place in the play-offs.

There's no hope left for St. Polten, FC Twente, Benfica, Roma, Paris Saint-Germain, who are all already out.

BBC Sport takes a look at how the three English clubs have fared so far on the continental stage - and what is still to come.
