Chelsea and Tottenham face Premier League fixture chaos after Champions League dates confirmed

Chelsea and Tottenham have discovered their fate in the round of 16 for the Champions League after both sides confirmed top spot in their group. The Blues managed to do so with one game to spare, turning around a tough situation that saw them take just one point from their opening two games.

As for Spurs, it was pure drama as they were denied passage in their penultimate game against Sporting as an injury time winner was chalked off by VAR. It led them to Marseille where a draw would be enough, however a 95th minute winner from Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg granted them top.

Monday saw both team's next opponent revealed, as Chelsea were drawn against German side Borussia Dortmund while Tottenham have a tie with Italian champions AC Milan, who were beaten home and away by Graham Potter's Blues in the group stages. However, with that also came the confirmation of the dates for each game, which has thrown further chaos into the fixture schedule.
