"Mikel Arteta's side - who are still Premier League frontrunners after navigating a challenging winter spell - are in contention for an unprecedented quadruple this season after a run of consecutive near-misses in recent years."
"Despite being drawn amongst a pack with a stronger European pedigree however, Bayern Munich are the closest contenders to spoil Arsenal's path, with Opta grading their 14.28 per cent chance of lifting the trophy second to the Gunners' 27.40 per cent chance."
"Fans of the English game will be pleased to note that four of the top sixth clubs with the highest chance of claiming glory in Hungary are from the Premier League with Liverpool and Manchester City - who play Galatasaray and Real Madrid in the round of 16 respectively - the third and fourth-likeliest to win the Champions League."
Following the Champions League knockout stage draw, Opta's supercomputer analysis confirms Arsenal as the tournament favorites with a 27.40% chance of winning their maiden Champions League trophy. The Gunners face Bayer Leverkusen in the round of 16, with potential quarter-final opponents being Bodo/Glimt or Sporting Lisbon. Their semi-final could feature Newcastle or Barcelona, or Atletico Madrid or Tottenham. Bayern Munich ranks second with 14.28% probability. Four Premier League clubs feature among the top six contenders, including Liverpool and Manchester City with 12.83% and third-highest chances respectively. Arsenal pursue an unprecedented quadruple this season after consecutive near-misses in recent years.
