Champions League: All the 36 teams projected to play in the tournament next season as it stands

Next season's Champions League will be played under a new revamped format which will see four extra teams added to the roaster.

The current format had 32 teams pooled in eight different groups.

However, beginning next term, 36 teams will take part in the group stages of the European elite competition, in what is one of the biggest changes that has been made in the tournament.

Already, a number of teams across Europe have confirmed their spots, with Manchester City and Arsenal among those who have mathematically qualified.

Others include German side Bayer Leverkusen, who were recently crowned Bundesliga champions for the first time in their history.

While some teams are facing an anxious wait to confirm their qualification, there are those who stand no chance at all.

According to SPORTbible, Manchester United and Chelsea are among the top teams which will not be taking part in the competition after a disastrous run of form.

Incredibly, some divisions, like the Bundesliga, could have as many as six teams participating if Borussia Dortmund goes all the way and lifts the title this season.
