"We will give our best [to win the Champions League]," Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger told BT Sport.  "There are two competitions really - the group where you want to get out in a strong position and then a cup competition. Now, let's get good results.

"Overall, an international is rested and another international comes in so for me it is not a big change. 

"We will approach it correctly but, even if we do so, it will be a difficult game. It has all the ingredients to be tricky."

One Football League fixture to tell you about this evening, with QPR playing Blackburn at Loftus Road.

It has not been a great start to the season for Rovers, who are winless so far and second from bottom of the table with three points from six games. That match starts at 19:45 BST.

We are asking why an English team will win the Champions League this season: 

Steven Traynor:  They fielded 11 non-English players

Calvin Z Delius:  Because Messi, Bale, Robben, Muller, Pogba, Benzema, Neuer, Lewandowski, Suarez, Neymar Vidal, etc. all get injured

Ahmad Raza Mustafa:  Because the Red Devils are in the battle and now orders have to run

Of course, Theo Walcott has form here. Back in 2008, he visited the Stadion Maksimir with England. And scored a hat-trick.

Three Lions fans will also remember a different visit to this stadium, when Paul Robinson let a Gary Neville back-pass go under his foot and into the bat of the net. Not his finest moment...

We are asking why an English team will win the Champions League this season: 

Dan Tate: An English team will win the Champions League because you've borrowed Stewie Griffin's time machine and travelled back to when English teams were dominant in European football

Wouldn't it be nice if Theo Walcott became the goalscoring striker that he has so often threatened to turn into?

Gunners legend Ian Wright certainly hopes so - and he wants the England man to get an extended run up front.

"Everyone's had their say on Arsenal's failure to bring in another striker and now I hope that Theo Walcott is given a genuine run of games up there," Wright told The Sun.

"The Gunners will always create chances and I feel it's time to unleash Theo and let him prove he can do it.

"The challenge is for the likes of Aaron Ramsey, Mesut Ozil and Santi Cazorla to release him as quickly as possible whe he makes those runs."

I'll be honest - the live texter inside me is not overly delighted to see El Arabi Hilal Soudani on the team-sheet. Ctrl C, Ctrl V.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger makes six changes from the win over Stoke last Saturday. Keeper David Ospina, right-back Mathieu Debuchy, left-back Kieran Gibbs, midfielder Mikel Arteta, winger Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and striker Olivier Giroud come in to the side to replace Petr Cech, Hector Bellerin, Nacho Monreal, Francis Coquelin, Aaron Ramsey and Theo Walcott.

Dinamo Zagreb midfielder Goncalo Santos is suspended after being sent off in the play-off second leg against Skenderbeu but key forward El Arabi Hilal Soudani starts.

Dinamo Zagreb XI:  Eduardo, Ivo Pinto, Sigali, Taravel, Pivaric, Soudani, Paulo Machado, Ademi, Antolic, Fernandes, Pjaca.

"You are going to go through tough spells. Everyone thought Man City would run away with the league but after last night people might say they will have one or two issues. 

"It's just about riding those waves. The Chelsea fans want to be entertained. I haven't watched a Chelsea game in a while where I've though 'that's them back to their best'."

The main jist of Jose's beef yesterday was his disliking of a question querying his record at previous clubs once/if he reaches a third season.

At one point, Mourinho retorted: "Click Google, instead of making stupid questions, click Google and try to find."

Is Jose building up to a dramatic exit from Stamford Bridge? Or will he ride out the storm? We're asking that very question in a vote at the top of this page.

Did you miss the Jose Mourinho news conference yesterday? Fear not - it's here in all its glory. A must-watch.

Three players borrowed from the Premier League all start for Roma. Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny, Chelsea winger Mohamed Salah and Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko are all in the first eleven.

For holders Barcelona, Lionel Messi makes his 100th appearance in the competition, alongside Luis Suarez and Neymar.

Roma XI: Szczesny, Florenzi, Manolas, Rudiger, Digne, Nainggolan, De Rossi, Keita, Falque, Salah, Dzeko.

Barcelona XI: ter Stegen, Sergi Roberto, Pique, Mathieu, Jordi Alba, Rakitic, Busquets, Iniesta, Messi, Neymar, Suarez

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho makes six changes from the side who lost to Everton last time out, with Diego Costa, John Terry, Nemanja Matic and Branislav Ivanovic on the substitutes' bench.

Chelsea XI: Begovic; Azpilicueta, Zouma, Cahill (c), Baba Rahman; Loftus-Cheek, Fabregas; Willian, Oscar, Hazard; Remy. Subs: Blackman, Terry, Ivanovic, Ramires, Matic, Traore, Diego Costa.

Former Chelsea defender Tal Ben Haim starts for Maccabi Tel Aviv, as does another Tal Ben Haim - no relation.

Is this Arsenal's year? It's got to happen at some point, surely? Gunners manager Arsene Wenger is keen to finally reel in the big one - that's for sure.

"My drive to win the Champions League is immense," said the Frenchman. "It's never been done at Arsenal. We have to put hard work in."

He added: "Our last visit [to play Dinamo Zagreb] was a very tough game. We needed to be patient against a very strong side.

"We have to play at our best to beat them. They have not lost a game for 11 months."

So, Arsenal are in the Croatian capital tonight. Zagreb was struck by an earthquake measuring 3.2 on the Richter scale on Tuesday. Our man, Alistair Bruce-Ball, felt the tremors...

Alistair Bruce-Ball will be providing updates throughout from Zagreb on BBC Radio 5 live, which you listen to by clicking on the audio icon on this page.

"I am a fan of Giroud and I think Arsenal fans should get behind him. For Arsenal he is the perfect fit. 

"It's the three behind him who should have the responsibility on their shoulders. Sanchez, Ramsey and Ozil are the match-winners and the ones that are possibly going to push Arsenal to a good position in the league.

"Giroud is the sort of player who brings those players into the game. And he's still going to get you 15 goals a season."
