Whilst every team that is set to take part in the UEFA Champions League in 2023/24 is still to be confirmed - the revitalised competition is beginning to catch the eye.
36 teams will compete for Europe's biggest club prize and the introduction of a Swiss model is set to bring a new edge to the year-long tournament.
Every club will now be guaranteed a minimum of eight league-stage games against eight different opponents (four home games, four away), with their tally at the end handing them a position in a league table.

The top eight sides in the league will qualify automatically for the knockout stages and we already know which sides from the Premier League have booked their spots.
Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Aston Villa will make up England's four sides with Celtic having done so too after winning the SPL title a few weeks ago.
So the question remains, who is in and who is out so far?
