A new season, but some things never change. Manchester City fans are still booing the Champions League anthem.

'Win or Die!' screams a banner on the pitch in Moscow. Not up for a 0-0 draw then?

Here come the teams! In Cyprus, in Russia and in Manchester.

All set? Will the Premier League be celebrating three wins tonight?

It must get to Liverpool's midfield and forward line because they are under pressure to score goals. They must know they will concede.

It is a big game for Liverpool tonight.

It's been very hot all day in Cyprus, and the pitch is not the best.

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino speaking to BT Sport: "It was compulsory to make some changes but it is no excuse for today.

"Always to play in Cyprus is tough and of course the conditions are not the best but we are ready to compete. The opposition will be tough.

"They have some good players, good organisation, good set pieces. It will be tough, like always in the Champions League."

Fernandinho, Willian, Henrikh Mkhitaryan - just a few of the Premier League stars who have come through at Shakhtar in recent years.

Manchester City

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola tells BT Sport: "Every press conference it is the same, no it is not perfect. All the teams in the world can get better.

"Defence is not depending on the defenders, everyone has to help when we do not have the ball.

"Shakhtar's squad have Ukrainian players but a big amount of Brazilian players. They are big talents, they are well organised and they want to play form the back. They have the ability to find their players behind our midfield line.

"They are so dangerous, so quick. It is the eighth time I have played them and every time I think, 'wow' how good are they? We do not watch them every week but they have one of the best teams. It will be a good test of our level in the Champions League."

Manchester City's record goalscorer with 177 goals in all competitions, Eric Brook was signed from Barnsley in 1928 for £6,000 - a fee that included team-mate Fred Tilson.

He won the FA Cup in 1934 and the title in 1937 and then had his career curtailed by the small matter of World War II and then a car crash which left him with a fractured skull.

Sergio Aguero is one behind at the moment. Can he move level tonight?

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, speaking to BT Sport: "It's the most difficult day I've had with the line-up because no player has given me a reason not to play them.

"It's about doing the right thing in the right moment. Spartak were the best side in their league last season so they deserved to be champions. It's about us controlling their quality and bringing through our quality.

"If we defend well as a team then I think we have a chance, if not then we have absolutely no chance."

Cristiano Ronaldo is making his 400th appearance for Real Madrid tonight.

He's scored 108 Champions League goals in total, including 92 while playing for Real Madrid.

Two of those goals were scored in Madrid's 3-0 victory over Apoel Nicosia in their first Champions League game this season.

Whichever formation Tottenham kick-off with tonight Son Heung-min will be a key player. He scored a fine goal against Dortmund last time out and his pace could be crucial on the counter.

Andrew Robertson is not even on the bench tonight for Liverpool. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's arrival may have pushed James Milner back into left-back cover instead of a midfield role.

Liverpool's line-up causing discussion...

Samab: Liverpool have to find their mojo which they will have to keep it for this particular game. Nothing to be scared of.

Joel: Believe me LFC is going to win tonight, you need to score goals to win a game, and in Bobby, Mane, Salah and Phil, Pool got it

John: 1st game man of the match,2 others made enough chances that weren't put away. Robertson must be thinking what do I have to do?

Claudio Bravo; Danilo, Mangala; Toure, Gundogan, Bernardo Silva; Sterling.

That is some Manchester City bench isn't it!

It was a badly kept secret that Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang really wanted to join Real Madrid this summer but they never made a bid. This is a chance for him to show what they are missing.

Real Madrid are seven points behind Barcelona in the league already - seven!

Finally, a Donetsk fan? Well, sort of... Andreii is Ukrainian but he is actually from Leeds.

"I support all Ukrainian teams when they play in England," he says. "But I don't actually support Donetsk."

He reckons there are a few hundred Donetsk fans who have travelled from Ukraine, but they are still in a pub in the city centre.

Will they make it here for kick-off? "Maybe."

We've all done it...

• Apoel have lost 10 of their last 12 Champions League games (W1 D1). They have also failed to score in 10 of their last 13 outings, remaining goalless in each of their last five games.

Real Madrid have named a pretty frightening starting XI as Cristiano Ronaldo, Luka Modric and Gareth Bale all start.

Marco Asensio has to settle for a place on the bench.

Real Madrid XI: Navas, Carvajal, Sergio Ramos, Varane, Nacho, Ronaldo, Kroos, Modric, Bale, Casemiro, Isco

Dortmund have got plenty of stars of their own. Mario Gotze and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang both start.

Maximilian Philipp, who has scored four goals in his last eight games, starts up front for the German side.

Borussia Dortmund XI: Burki, Piszczek, Sokratis (C), Toprak, Toljan, Sahin, Castro, Gotze, Yarmolenko, Aubameyang, Philipp

The players are out warming up at the GSP Stadium which is a bit off the beaten track when it comes to Champions League grounds.

It holds just over 20,000. Compact. Intimidating? We shall see.
