Liverpool scored 23 goals in six Champions League group matches
For the first time in Champions League history, there will be five English teams in the last 16 when the draw takes place on Monday.
Tottenham and Manchester City guaranteed top spots in their groups with a game to spare and Manchester United beat CSKA Moscow 2-1 on Tuesday to finish top of Group A.
Liverpool's emphatic 7-0 home win over Spartak Moscow on Wednesday ensured Jurgen Klopp's side would win Group E.
Chelsea were the only English side to finish as runners-up in their group as Antonio Conte's side missed out on top spot because of their head-to-head record against Group C winners Roma.
Clubs finishing first in their groups will be seeded and drawn against a second-placed team in the last 16. Teams from the same country, or from the same group, cannot face each other.
Third-placed teams move into the Europa League.
However, finishing first does not guarantee an easier tie in the next phase as Manchester United, Liverpool and Manchester City could all face one of Bayern Munich, Juventus or Real Madrid. Tottenham could get Bayern or Juventus, but not Real Madrid having been in the same group.
Chelsea will be hoping they get drawn against Besiktas, otherwise they will play either Paris St-Germain or Barcelona.
Potential opponents for English teams
Manchester United (Group A winners): Bayern Munich, Juventus, Sevilla, Shakhtar Donetsk, Porto or Real Madrid.
Chelsea (Group C runners-up): Paris St-Germain, Barcelona or Besiktas.
Liverpool (Group E winners): Basel, Bayern Munich, Juventus, Shakhtar Donetsk, Porto or Real Madrid.
Manchester City (Group F winners): Basel, Bayern Munich, Juventus, Sevilla, Porto or Real Madrid.
Tottenham (Group H winners): Basel, Bayern Munich, Juventus, Shakhtar Donetsk or Porto.
When is the draw?
The Champions League draw will take place at Uefa headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland on Monday, 11 December. The draw is set to start at 11:00 GMT, with the Europa League draw immediately afterwards at 12:00 GMT.

The highlight was season 2007-08, with Arsenal reaching the quarter-finals, Liverpool the semi-finals, and Manchester United beating Chelsea in the final
The low point was season 2012-13 when only Manchester United and Arsenal made the last 16 and both exited at that stage
