OK, I might be getting a bit ahead of myself talking up an all Premier League final but it is at least a mouthwatering possibility.

To more immediate matters - tonight's final round of group games. Celtic, Liverpool and Tottenham are all in action, with the former already eliminated and the latter two through to the last-32.

Here's who is playing who and at what time:

Ahh the Europa League - the competition that has people reaching for an atlas to work out where teams whose names would make high-scoring scrabble words come from. 

Long trips to Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan, largely unknown players and dull goalless group stage draws - enough to send a shiver down anyone's spine.

Things, though, could be about to get a whole lot more intriguing.

With Liverpool and Tottenham both through to the knockout stage, Man United joining the fun in February and Gary Neville's Valencia also in the mix, Thursdays could be fun days once again.

And who wouldn't be excited by the prospect of an all-Premier League European cup final?
