Good morning! It's Champions League draw day when we find out who will play who in the quarter-finals of Europe's elite tournament, where Manchester City - the lone English representative left in this year's competition - are appearing for the first time in their history. While the usual suspects of Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are all in the mix, City join the likes of Benfica and Wolfsburg in hoping to upset the odds. The draw gets underway at 11am GMT - just under an hour away - but we'll bring you plenty of build-up and previews to the draw itself after a dramatic week of European football.
Of course, the fun doesn't stop with the Champions League, as the Europa League draw begins straight after at 12pm GMT.

For manager Jurgen Klopp, he could end up facing his former side Borussia Dortmund after they eliminated Tottenham yesterday.
So if you're at home, sit back and relax, or if you're at work keep on eye on your computer screen to get the latest from Nyon - we've got you covered.

Don't go anywhere yet, as we've still got the Europa League quarter-final draw to come. It's set to be a big one, with some very strong European sides involved. Liverpool, the sole remaining English team in the competition after Manchester United and Tottenham fell by the wayside in the last-16, could face the likes of Athletic Bilbao, Sevilla and - most intriguingly - Jurgen Klopp's former side Borussia Dortmund.However, there are easier alternatives, with Sparta Prague and Braga in the draw, while Shakhtar Donetsk and Villarreal could certainly pose a test to the Reds.
That draw is coming up in under 20 minutes.
