The Champions League draw has thrown some enthralling fixtures for this season's round of 16. The fixtures of the three premier league teams in the knock out stage would be discussed more in detail.

| Chelsea are set to face PSG for the third time in a row |
The English champions would consider themselves quite unlucky after being drawn against the French champions. Surely, Mourinho would have loved to have an easier draw after winning their group. This is the third time in a row that both these teams would play in the Champions league. PSG beat Chelsea on away goals last season after Chelsea beat them on away goals the season before that. The match certainly promises to be one of the most exciting battles in the round of 16.
Arsenal vs Barcelona:

| Arsenal will face the Messi, Neymar, Suarez trio |
Arsenal's dramatic escape to the knock out stages has been rewarded by being drawn against the European champions. The Premier league leaders would certainly be worried about the prospect of facing Barcelona's famous MSN. Missing the opportunity the last time out against Monaco, it looks like the trend of not going past the round of 16 is set to continue for the Gunners.
Manchester City vs Dynamo Kiev:

| Manchester City will face Dynamo Kiev |
Manchester City arguably have the easiest opponents in the round of 16 as compared to their premier league counterparts. They are certainly expected to overcome Kiev and in doing so, they would be the first ‘City’ team in their history to go past the round of 16. Pellegrini would certainly feel they deserved to get such a draw after beating Juventus to the top spot in a difficult looking group. Dynamo had given Chelsea problems in the group stage but City certainly have the firepower to overcome that threat.
