MANCHESTER CITY have been handed the toughest draw of all English sides on their Champions League debut, but Chelsea and Arsenal also face tricky groups.

European giants Bayern Munich and the less glamorous but no less dangerous Villarreal and Napoli stand between City and a place in the knockout stage.

Chelsea face Valencia, meaning new Blues signing Juan Mata will face his old club, Bayer Leverkusen and RSC Genk. Arsenal take on Marseille, Olympiacos and German champions Borussia Dortmund.

Manchester United look to have a simple route after being drawn with Benfica, Basle and Otelul Galati.
