After Tuesday delivered a dramatic evening of Champions League football, eight more matches are on the agenda this evening.

Manchester United and Chelsea are both in action, while we also profile a small club looking to follow in Sheriff Tiraspol’s footsteps and cause an almighty upset on Thursday.

English focus

Following a shock defeat to Young Boys in their opening group stage fixture, Manchester United now welcome Villarreal to Old Trafford.

Revenge will be on the cards for United after last year’s Europa League final defeat, and points are a must tonight if they are to make the knockout stages.

One man who did not play in last season's defeat was Jesse Lingard — but he has had quite the impact back in Manchester since his return from West Ham.

After his backpass cost United a point in Switzerland, we consider the role the England midfielder can have off the bench for the Red Devils.

Elsewhere, reigning champions Chelsea enjoyed a better start to their campaign with victory over Zenit Saint Petersburg — and now they travel to Juventus.

The Old Lady have had a tough campaign so far in Serie A and we assess what they can do to get the better of the Blues.
