Going to be a laugh after all this Trent Alexander-Arnold talk when he doesn't even get on the pitch tonight, isn't it?
Anyway, best be off...
Liverpool v Real Madrid (20:00 GMT)
Champions League
Trent Alexander-Arnold was asked by Amazon Prime if he would celebrate should he score against former club Liverpool: "I've not looked that far ahead. If I was to score, then no, I wouldn't celebrate, to be honest."

Former Liverpool striker on 5 Live
I’m looking forward to seeing Trent [Alexander-Arnold] , but I obviously don’t want him to get a result. I do appreciate that he was a world class player, and is still a world class player and he has been a big miss for Liverpool.
Look we can all have opinions on what we should do or whether we should support him. I think the majority will understand, appreciate and respect what he has done for Liverpool but I think they will let their feelings be known and give him a bit of a hard time.
I think Liverpool could use that to their advantage though. To make the atmosphere that little bit more intense, and allow Liverpool to get into Real Madrid, [start] on the front foot.

Liverpool midfielder Ryan Gravenberch on the type of reception that former Reds defender Trent Alexander-Arnold will receive from the fans: “From the fans I don’t know, but he’s obviously a friend of mine so I will give him a hug of course.
"Not a lot of messages but I’ll see him tomorrow."

Decision of the fans that may be but some haven't taken too kindly to the return of their former vice-captain. If it was fans, that is...
Cleaners in Liverpool restored the mural of the former Reds defender after it appeared to have been defaced with graffiti overnight.
Alexander-Arnold will face the Reds for the first time on Tuesday evening since leaving the club for Real Madrid in the summer.

I will always love the club. I will always be a fan of the club. I will always be thankful for the opportunities [Liverpool gave me] and everything that we achieved together will live with me forever.
"So, no matter what, my feelings won't change towards Liverpool. I have got memories there that will last me a lifetime and no matter how I am received, that won't change."

On how fans should react to Trent Alexander-Arnold's return: "I think it’s hard. We can’t say to them do this, or do that, everyone has their own opinions and reasons why they either dislike or like him. I think you just have to get behind the team."

Good luck to Liverpool tonight. I'm no fan but it's impossible for me to root against any British team in the CL, nevertheless playing against Real Madrid. You've got a world class squad there waiting to click, hopefully Anfield is host to a brilliant showing tonight for #20.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot on ex-Reds right-back Trent Alexander Arnold returning to the club with Real Madrid this evening: "I can only tell you what kind of reception he gets from me. I only have good memories from him as a player and as a human being.
"I have memories of working with him that are only positive and memories of watching him when I'm in front of the TV and they are only positive. I can remember multiple great moments of him in a Liverpool shirt.
"He will get a warm welcome by me, let's see if he is on the pitch and then how the fans react I've no clue but he gets a warm welcome from me, that's for sure."

There are some standout fixtures tonight.
Paris St-Germain v Bayern Munich is pretty tasty.
They are two of the five teams with a 100% record after three matches.
Liverpool will host one of the others - 15-time European champions Real Madrid.
I am going to hand you over now to my colleague Ben Ramsdale, who is going to have a look at some of the storylines surrounding that heavyweight clash.
All kick-offs 20:00 GMT unless stated

Chelsea fan writer
Image source, Getty ImagesThere was a lot of interesting stuff going on in Chelsea's win over Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday, both on and off the pitch.
But it's impossible to write anything about that game and not mention Moises Caicedo. It doesn't matter that every pundit, player and both managers have already done so. It still won't be enough to explain just how good and just how important he was.
It was fitting that in a game where Chelsea repeatedly failed to turn their dominance into goals, the midfielder ended up being the one to decide the match. Already his team's main ball-winner and progressor, Caicedo realised he was going to have to be their creator too. He stormed forward, won three challenges in a row and battered his way into the box, where he put the ball on a plate for Joao Pedro to finish.
If the Brazilian had hesitated, we have no doubt that Caicedo would have been on hand to force the ball into the net, too. Comparisons to N'Golo Kante are often made but rarely appropriate. In this case, you could get away with them.
As with Kante, however, Chelsea need to make sure they don't end up becoming dependent on a midfielder's superhuman abilities. In a strange way, having such an exceptional player can end up hurting the team as a whole - every time Kante was removed from the lineup, the rest of the squad would realise they had forgotten how to win games without the help from a force of nature. They must avoid the same issues with their new edition.

I love Palmer, he's capable of winning games on his own, but Caicedo is 100% Chelsea's most important player. He cleans up in midfield, runs the show almost on his own and most importantly he's always available. Reece James also a top shout - notable when absent. Top captain.

Qarabag v Chelsea (Wed, 17:45 GMT)
Before we move on, just a reminder that Chelsea are 11th in the Champions League table after two wins and a defeat from their opening three games.
They are level on six points with Wednesday's opponents Qarabag.
Chelsea's four remaining fixtures of the league phase include home games against Barcelona and Pafos, and two matches in Italy against Atalanta and Napoli.

A final word from Enzo Maresca on Liam Delap's return to fitness: "Liam is back and he's an important player for us, and also an option for tomorrow. I don't have any doubt at the end of the season that we will be very happy with Liam in terms of goals and the way he works off the ball. No doubt he is going to help us."

Enzo Maresca on the tight turnaround of fixtures: "It's an important game as it can give us nine points in the Champions League. Probably we will need to rotate some players. We come back in London tomorrow at 6am and then have a game on Saturday. It's a demanding schedule but we will do our best."
