Basel's major goal threat will come from Ricky van Wolfswinkel, who has scored seven goals in as many Swiss Super League matches this season.

The Dutchman only scored two goals in 28 appearances for Norwich City in a disastrous £8.5m move in 2013.

Basel head coach Raphael Wicky said: "I only want to judge him from the time he has been in Switzerland and he has been fantastic for us.

"He is looking fantastic on the field - he is a real striker in the box, he knows where the goal is - but he is also fantastic to have in the team as a personality.

"I believe that he can score and I hope that he will score goals in the Champions League for us as well."

Don't tell Garth Crooks, but Paul Pogba has only scored two goals in 32 Champions League games.

Liverpool's Champions League draw makes them the British club most likely to qualify for the knockout stage, according to an analytical study.

Gracenote Sports, external says their chances of progressing from the group stage rose by 30% when they were drawn with Sevilla, Spartak Moscow and Maribor.

Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich are the sides given the best chance - 97% - of reaching the last 16.

Scottish champions Celtic are given just a 4% chance of going through.

The likelihood of them progressing was 11% before they were drawn with Bayern Munich, PSG and Anderlecht.

Crystal Palace

Former England boss Roy Hodgson says he is "close" to taking over as Crystal Palace manager following Frank de Boer's sacking.

De Boer was dismissed on Monday after five games in charge.

Hodgson was at Palace's training ground on Tuesday and told Sky Sports that he had yet to sign a contract but was "pleased" to be returning to football.

The 70-year-old has been out of management since quitting England after their defeat by Iceland at Euro 2016.

And chairman Steve Parish has just tweeted this...

I would not have guessed that Rafa had managed more teams in the Champions League than Jose Mourinho. Would you?

Jose Mourinho is taking part in the Champions League with a fifth different club after Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan and Real Madrid.

Only Carlo Ancelotti (7), Rafael Benitez and Claudio Ranieri (6) have taken charge of more clubs in the competition.

Mourinho says in his programme notes that he has "seen that some people outside the club regard this as a great draw; I don't think they appreciate the difficulties of football, or know what we are going to face"

For me, Chelsea is the team which will go the furthest in this competition. Man City have a great team but defensively I’m not too sure. But Chelsea, with a coach who can change his tactics and play the counter attack game, I’d say they are best equipped.

Roma have won only one of their last 13 Champions league games (D5 L7), it was against Bayer Leverkusen in November 2015 (3-2).

Roma have also only kept one clean sheet in their last 22 Champions League games (a goalless draw against BATE Borisov in December 2015), conceding a total of 51 goals over that period.

Jose Mourinho was Chelsea manager when they played Basel in the 2013-14 group stage, the Swiss outfit winning 2-1 in London and 1-0 at home. Juan Mata played in both fixtures.

I think in the Europa league Manchester United were the strongest team but, in this competition, if they get to the quarter-finals then I think they will have done well.

Former Manchester United assistant manager Mike Phelan speaking on BBC Radio 5 live earlier today: "United have been out of the Champions League for a couple of years so they will have to feel their way through, but I expect them to be good in all the competitions this season.

"Tonight, they're at home, the crowd will be expecting and I think they should win this game. They do have a couple of injuries at the back so they will have to shuffle things around a bit but they have the squad to deal with that."

For five minutes we faffed around wondering why United Review was blue, and not its usual colour.

Blue is the colour (football is the game...) because United became European Champions for the first time at Wembley fifty seasons ago wearing blue, and they won the Europa League last season in blue.

I think you maybe, probably, should be Brendan. No?

We'll be covering all of tonight's games here but if you specifically want to follow the Celtic game there's a page here just for you.

Brendan Rodgers insists Celtic "will not be intimidated" by Paris St-Germain's attacking talent.

But he says "attitude is everything" ahead of his side's Champions League Group B opener.

Rodgers' side will line up against a team he believes "were put together to win this competition" after signing Neymar and Kylian Mbappe.

"We just aim to play our game, based around being aggressive defensively and having a physical edge," Rodgers said.

"If you stand off top-class players they will show you why they are top class."

Ashley Young is a strange one but I think it's a good decision to include him in the team because he will get a lot of the ball. I think Basel will sit back in numbers and it will suit him.

Who will be this season's breakout star in the Champions League? Will we see the emergence of another Kylian Mbappe?
