Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has sprung a surprise with his starting line-up tonight, taking charge of the club for the 100th time in the Champions League.

Star striker Erling Haaland and number one goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma are on the bench as the Spaniard makes 10 changes to the side that lost at Newcastle on Saturday.

James Trafford starts in goal and the likes of Rayan Ait-Nouri, Oscar Bobb and Savinho all come in, with John Stones captaining the side and Omar Marmoush playing up front.

Needless to say, it's a very strong bench should things not be going City's way.

Man City XI: Trafford, Khusanov, Stones, Ake, Ait-Nouri, Lewis, Gonzalez, Reijnders, Bobb, Savinho, Marmoush.

Bayer Leverkusen manager Kasper Hjulmand gives a start to former Liverpool defender Jarell Quansah, while former Brentford goalkeeper Mark Flekken is between the sticks.

On-loan City midfielder Claudio Echeverri has found minutes had to come by this season and is once again on the bench alongside former Burnley man Nathan Tella.

Bayer Leverkusen XI: Flekken, Quansah, Bade, Grimaldo, Belocian, Maza, Garcia, Tillman, Poku, Kofane, Schick.

Spurs manager Thomas Frank was in defiant mood and backed himself to turn a run of only three wins in 11 games around when the face Champions League holders Paris St. Germain here on Wednesday.

Frank smiled broadly when asked was it important he was given time by the Spurs hierarchy, answering: “Very important.”

He followed up with a far more combative stance as he insisted he was the man to put the club back on the right track.

Frank said: “Part of the job is to sit here and I would love to be sitting here having beaten Arsenal, but we got beaten badly.

“I am 1,000% certain I know how to build a team and build a club. One of the big things is how you learn from the bad spells, how you react, and that is what we have to do.”

Never mind cotton wool...Chelsea have wrapped Cole Palmer up in ice. An ice statue of Chelsea's No 10 is on display outside Stamford Bridge. The England forward misses out tonight as he continues his recovery after fracturing a toe in an accident at home last week.

Champions League

Things are starting to get serious. There are just three more league phase games after this week.

Arsenal start the latest round of games second, Manchester City are fourth, Newcastle are sixth and Liverpool are eighth. Tottenham are 10th and Chelsea 12th.

There is history everywhere you look in the Stade Velodrome press room.

Huge front pages from L’Equipe and La Provence and cover stories from France Football are splashed across the feature wall, which document some of Marseille’s greatest ever moments, including winning the Champions League in 1993.

There are also a host of team photographs dotted around the place, including one of the side spearheaded by Didier Drogba, who defeated Newcastle United at this very stadium to reach the 2004 Uefa Cup final.

The visitors have options tonight, and head coach Eddie Howe has stressed “trusting the squad is really important”.

Dan Burn and Anthony Gordon, who were sidelined through suspension and injury, are back available again while Lewis Miley, Jacob Ramsey, Joe Willock and Anthony Elanga, are among those who will hope to make their first start in a month.

At the same time as Chelsea-Barcelona (20:00 GMT), Newcastle are at Marseille and Manchester City host Bayer Leverkusen.

Will all three Premier League clubs be celebrating wins tonight?

Harry Kane back in north London, Spurs at the home of the European champions...the Champions League returns with a bang after a three week break.

But while we have to wait until Wednesday for Arsenal-Bayern Munich and Paris St-Germain-Tottenham, tonight we have a blockbuster at the Bridge.

Chelsea against Barcelona is one of three games featuring Premier League sides.

Bring. It. On.

Champions League

And with that Thomas Frank and Wilson Odobert depart the room and the Tottenham press conference has ended.

Now attention turns to tonight's games....

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham manager Thomas Frank on the expectations of Spurs fans, with regards to their style of play: "I think hopefully it will not take that long time. I think the man next to me, Wilson (Odobert) is a fantastic player with huge potential. He has taken a step up and I have big hope for Wilson. He is taking over from a Sonny who was here last season, for example. And a Solanke and a Maddison and a Kulusevski.

"That's not saying they can't do it, it just takes a bit of time. And then we have to play every third day. No complaints, that's just the way it is."

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham manager Thomas Frank on Wednesday night's opponents Paris St-Germain: "They have been on another level to Tottenham for the last five or six years.

"Also Luis Enrique, in his first season, he had to take a lot of battles and also turned everything around from playing with the biggest players in Europe to less stars, very determined players that play for the team.

"He created one of the best teams in the world by making those changes. Even last year, that's the beauty of football, they won the treble and were close to getting knocked out of the Champions League. That's margins sometimes."

The Tottenham boss went on to explain that he has "learned a lot about the team and the club" during his first four months in charge, but admitted that he is still searching for the "right formula".

"It is a big, big challenge but that's what I embrace," Frank added.

It's all about being realistic, right?

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham manager Thomas Frank on Spurs' form and the turnover of managers at the club: "Part of taking this job was to sit here and have the challenges, Of course I would love to be sitting here and we had beaten Arsenal, and then face Paris tomorrow night. We lost, we lost badly. Part of it is to manage those setbacks and learn from it.

"One thing I am 1000% sure of is how to build a team and know how to build a club. We will do that and along the way we will learn. The big thing is how we learn from the bad spells. That's when we can see where we go 1-0 down, how we react as a team. The good teams they still run hard and there are no doubts in that."

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham manager Thomas Frank on what loanee Randal Kolo Muani offers his team: "I like his link-up play, I think he is very good at that. His ability to run in behind and he is good in those situations. He is also good in the box."

*Kolo Muani is eligible to play against his parent club when Tottenham face Paris St-Germain on Wednesday.
