Nine Premier League teams compete in the three-tier European competitions' round of 16; opponents are set. How many do you think will advance to the quarter-finals?

The fixtures for the round of 16 in the three-tier European tournaments (Champions League, Europa League, Europa Conference League) are all out. The Premier League has showcased the power of the world's top league, with all nine of its clubs progressing to the knockout stage. With their last-16 opponents now determined, how many English teams do you predict will make it to the European quarter-finals?

First, looking at the Champions League, six Premier League teams are in the round of 16:Chelsea vs Paris Saint-Germain, Liverpool vs Galatasaray, Manchester City vs Real Madrid, Newcastle United vs Barcelona, Tottenham Hotspur vs Atlético Madrid, Arsenal vs Bayer Leverkusen. The Reds and the Gunners have favorable draws, while Chelsea, City, Newcastle, and Spurs all face tough opposition.

Next, in the Europa League, two Premier League sides feature in the round of 16:Nottingham Forest vs Midtjylland (Danish Superliga), Aston Villa vs Lille. Given the current strength of Premier League teams, Forest and Villa should have little trouble reaching the quarter-finals.

Finally, in the Europa Conference League, one Premier League club is in the round of 16:Crystal Palace vs AEK Larnaca (Cypriot First Division). Crystal Palace should advance to the last eight without much difficulty. Therefore, the main uncertainty for how many of the nine Premier League teams will progress lies in the Champions League round of 16. Good luck to all nine English clubs in the three European competitions—the Premier League currently offers the most thrilling football. As fans, we simply love exciting matches, that's all.
