    Bayer Leverkusen v Tottenham (19:45 BST)

    Whisper it, but there's an argument that Tottenham's fans should actually be the more worried English contingent.  

    After losing at home to Monaco in their Group E opener, another defeat tonight would see Mauricio Pochettino's side hand over second place, despite having beaten CSKA Moscow last time out.

    Spurs play away to Bayer Leverkusen, who were third in last season's Bundesliga, and may well feel like they have something to prove this evening.

    Held at home by CSKA Moscow after going 2-0 up in their opening game, the Germans were denied a win away to Monaco by a last-minute leveller before the international break.

    Is a point a good result tonight for Spurs?

    Leicester v Copenhagen (19:45 BST)

    Apparently it's official: 'Leicester are rubbish again.' 

    Here's a brooding shot of Claudio Ranieri biting his nails to prove it. Well, they are 13th in the Premier League table, with just two wins...

    Perhaps he's just licking some icing off his fingers, but surely there's no getting round that deep black void?

    So you probably shouldn't mention that the Foxes have faced Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool in their first eight matches...

    And let's definitely ignore the fact they could go five points clear of their Champions League group with a win at home tonight.

    Because actually, you don't have to look long beneath the surface for your reasons to be cheerful., external

    For Leicester, with two wins from two on this European adventure, here comes part three.
