On a day when Newcastle parted company with Steve Bruce, we have eight tasty Champions League fixtures to look forward to. 

We preview the key clashes in detail, deliver our daily transfer news round-up and bring you an exclusive chat with two of the world’s greatest FIFA players.

Champions League drama

After impressive wins for both Manchester City and Liverpool last night, Manchester United and Chelsea will be out to make it a clean sweep for the English sides this evening.

The Red Devils are in a precarious position in Group F with only three points to show from their opening two matches and face a vital home clash with table-topping Atalanta.

Ahead of the contest, we take a closer look at Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s midfield conundrum, assessing the different options at the Norwegian’s disposal as he tries to improve things in the middle of the park.

Meanwhile, Thomas Tuchel’s Blues host minnows Malmo in Group H looking to bounce back from a disappointing loss to Juventus last time out.

German forward Kai Havertz is the man in the spotlight in our match preview, with the 22-year-old yet to make the impact expected of him this term.

We ponder where things are going wrong for the man who netted the winner in last season's Champions League final.
