We all love watching Gianni Infantino and his pals draw the balls out of the pots, and they will resume their duties at 11:00 GMT on December 14.
The eight group winners will be drawn against the eight runners-up and will play the second legs at home, with teams unable to face clubs from their own countries or those they have already played in the group stages.
The first legs of the ties will take place on February 16, 17, 23 and 24, while the second legs will be played on March 8, 9, 15 and 16.
With Chelsea and Manchester City both winning their groups, they can expect a slightly kinder draw than Arsenal, who had to pull off something of a great escape to qualify for the latter stages.
Both Chelsea and City would love to draw Gent, the unfancied Belgian champions. They had never gone further than the third knockout round prior to the 2015-16 season and are unlikely to pose much of a threat to either English side, having qualified from a relatively weak group, ahead of Valencia and Lyon.
The worst case for both, though, is Laurent Blanc’s PSG. Had they not faced Real Madrid in the group stages they would surely have won their pool, and boast a squad packed with both talent and Champions League experience.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Edinson Cavani, along with the likes of David Luiz, Thiago Silva and Javier Pastore would relish a clash with the English heavyweights, and would fancy their chances of progression.
Arsenal, meanwhile, will hope for a clash with Wolfsburg, despite the German club eliminating Manchester United in the group stages. They are awkward customers, but the Gunners – currently topping the Premier League – would be considered favourites against the Bundesliga side.
Barcelona loom large, however, and little effort is needed to see why they are the most feared club on the continent. Their potent 'MSN' strikeforce comprises three of the four best forwards on the planet in the form of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar, and the Gunners would not be fancied if they were to be paired with the Camp Nou outfit.
