Champions League 'tennis-style' rule change could majorly impact Chelsea, Tottenham and Arsenal

The Champions League knockout stages are set for seismic changes that will completely overhaul the competition, according to ESPN. The new format will be put into place in the 2024-25 season.

With Chelsea, Tottenham and Arsenal likely to be competing for places in Europe's top tournament, the new rules could impact all three clubs in some way. The Blues have already qualified for next season's competition, whilst the two north London clubs have taken the battle for qualification to the final day.

With separate projects underway at all three clubs, they're all expected to be there or thereabouts when it comes to competing for a Champions League spot in the future. If all goes well, each club could experience the new change.
