Jose Mourinho believes Tottenham will be a team to avoid in the Champions League knockout stages.
Spurs finished second in Group B, meaning they can be drawn against one of Barcelona, Paris St Germain, Juventus, Valencia or RB Leipzig.
Mourinho reckons those five teams will be hoping to avoid his side.
"We have five options," he said. "We don't have much to choose.
"Basically every team has five or six options in the draw, the teams that finish first they have better luck than to get Tottenham.
"They have better options than Tottenham, so every team that finished first and has better options than Tottenham, if they get Tottenham in the draw I think they will be very happy to play in our stadium but they know we have a good team."
Reigning champions Liverpool, who beat Spurs in last season's final, will be hoping to avoid a horror draw.
They could be paired with either Real Madrid or city rivals Atletico, with Borussia Dortmund, Lyon or Atalanta their other possible opponents.
Four of those five teams could also be waiting for City, with Napoli a possible opponent instead of Atalanta, who they met in the group stage.
Chelsea look set to get a tough draw as they could face Barcelona, Juventus, Bayern Munich, PSG or Leipzig.
Liverpool and City as group winners get a second leg at home, while Spurs and Chelsea will be away.
When we finally know the fixtures in an hour or so's time it'll be worth knowing when they're going to be.
Well, they will begin on 18-19 February and 25-26 February, with the second legs concluding the ties on 10-11 March and 17-18 March.
For the lucky few who will progress you can also plan for the quarter-final draw, which is set for 20 March.
So who is going to win the Champions League, 2019-20 edition?
The bookies have Manchester City as favourites, which seems odd to me giving where the reigning European champions Liverpool are in the Premier League right now. Liverpool are second with Barcelona and PSG are close behind, and Bayern Munich are installed as fifth favourites. What's intriguing this year is that there isn't really an outstanding team beyond Liverpool, which every big gun showing some fallibility.
Here's the fantasy team of the group stage – not a shabby front three.
