Arsenal, Celtic, Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United are preparing for the start of their UEFA Champions League campaigns. Here, Sky Bet give you the latest odds.

ARSENAL

Few gave the Gunners a chance of European glory at the start of the season and at 20/1 to win the Champions League, this is not looking like their year. Selling Robin van Persie has hit their striking options, but German forward Lukas Podolski and new talisman Santi Cazorla have adapted to the Premier League quickly and can send Arsenal (1/8) to the last 16.

CELTIC

The Scottish Premier League champions face an uphill struggle to get out of their group and are 4/1 to reach the last 16. Barcelona should top Group G, but Neil Lennon's side could upset Spartak Moscow and Benfica at home to give themselves a fighting chance of Europa League qualification. Bet now

CHELSEA

The reigning European champions are out to 14/1 with Sky Bet to retain their crown and are big 4./5 favourites to win Group E. Serie A winners Juventus are the biggest threat in their group, but the Blues have a fresh influx of talent and the experience to reach the latter stages, with Sky Bet making them 14/1 to become the first side to retain the Champions League. Bet now

MANCHESTER CITY

For the second season running, Roberto Mancini's side find themselves in the proverbial 'Group of Death' and they are 2/1 with Sky Bet to finish top. If they emerge from that tough opening to the tournament they could go all the way (9/1) and will benefit from last season's disappointment. The fitness of striker Sergio Aguero will be vital though and he is 20/1 to finish as Champions League top scorer. Bet now

MANCHESTER UNITED

After last season's poor display, United have an easier group. Sir Alex Ferguson's side should progress with ease, but the same was said last year and the Red Devils ended up in the Europa League. They are the same price (9/1 with Sky Bet) as 'noisy neighbours' City to win the tournament, but will have to improve their away form in order to stand a realistic chance of winning their fifth European crown.
