    Barcelona: Have qualified for the last 16 and will top the group no matter what happens in their final game against Sporting Lisbon.

    Juventus: Victory over Olympiakos will guarantee their place in the last 16. A draw would be enough if Sporting fail to beat Barca.

    Sporting Lisbon: Can still qualify - if they beat Barcelona and Juventus fail to win.

    Olympiakos: Cannot even qualify for the Europa League after taking a single point from their opening five matches.

    Arseni and friends have travelled about 3,000 miles from near the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk for this game - it's about five hours' drive from the Mongolian border.

    They took a three-hour flight to Moscow and changed planes for the five-hour hop over to the UK. The jetlag hasn't hit them yet - they are in roaring spirits.

    But only one of them (Dimitri, second right) is a CSKA fan. The bigger game for the rest comes tomorrow, when Liverpool host Spartak Moscow.

    Scott Brown has nobbled some of the very best down the years...

    Celtic captain Scott Brown will set a new Scottish record of 69 appearances in Europe's premier competition tonight, passing Kenny Dalglish's combined total with Celtic and Liverpool.

    "He's in great company with Kenny, who is obviously a real legend here and at Liverpool," said Brendan Rodgers.

    "It's a mark of his consistency, to have played that number of games under various managers.

    "It's a great accolade and hopefully he's got many more ahead of him."

    Brown starts - follow that game in full here.

    Chelsea: Have qualified for the last 16 and will top the group if they beat Atletico Madrid in their final game.

    Roma: Will guarantee a top-two finish with victory at home to Qarabag. If Roma win and Chelsea fail to do so, the Italian side will top the group.

    Atletico Madrid: They must beat Chelsea to have any chance of finishing in the top two - then hope Roma fail to win. If Roma draw, Atletico will go through by virtue of their superior head-to-head record.

    Qarabag: Will finish bottom of the group having failed to win any of their group games.

    Both these sides have a formidable record when it comes to getting out of their groups.

    Chelsea have only failed to qualify once (in 2012-13 when they went on to win the Europa League), and Atleti have also only missed out once.

    They finished third in Chelsea's group in 2009-10 and then also went on to win the Europa League - against Fulham...

    In tonight's matchday programme, Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho wrote: "I loved the way my team played and fought (against Arsenal). It was a very difficult game against a team who had won every home game this season, but the boys were phenomenal and deserved to take the three points.

    "Again, we scored some great goals and the players really showed the intelligence they have, through the way they were able to play tactically according to the different moments of the game and adapt each time the game changed."

    Celtic: Will qualify for the Europa League if they avoid defeat to Anderlecht in their final game.

    Anderlecht: To finish third they need to beat Celtic by a greater margin than the 3-0 defeat they suffered at the hands of the Scottish champions earlier in the group phase.

    Diego Costa hasn't played a game of club football since the FA Cup final...

    Diego Costa will not travel to London to watch his old club play his future club after agreeing a deal to join Atletico in September.

    The striker, 29, is not able to play for the Spanish club until January owing to a transfer embargo.

    Costa forced through a return to Atletico after three seasons at Stamford Bridge, where he scored 58 goals in 120 appearances and won two Premier League titles.

    But Conte was not interested in talking about his former player: "I think we must have great respect for Atletico Madrid and for the whole team, not only for one, two, three players."

    David de Gea may have been ridiculously good at Arsenal at the weekend but he's not playing tonight - Sergio Romero will start in goal as De Gea is rested.

    De Gea was superb against Arsenal at the weekend, making 14 saves including a stunning double stop from Alexandre Lacazette and Alexis Sanchez.

    When asked if he had seen a better goalkeeper this year, Jose Mourinho responded playfully: "Yes. Romero.

    "Because he plays tomorrow. My goalkeeper is always the best goalkeeper in the world.

    "Now David is third best. Romero is number one and Joel [Pereira] number two."

    Manchester United need a point at Old Trafford to secure qualification to the last 16 of the Champions League.

    To go out they have to lose by seven goals to CSKA Moscow. CSKA warmed up for this game with a 6-0 win over Tosno but Manchester United are unbeaten in 20 European matches and aiming for a new record of 40 games unbeaten at home, if they avoid defeat tonight.

    Manchester United: A point in their final game against CSKA Moscow at Old Trafford will guarantee their progress to the knockout stage as group winners. Indeed the only way they will not go through is if they lose by more than six goals and Basel also beat Benfica.

    FC Basel: Can qualify - or go into the Europa League. Such is the situation in the group, they could lose their final game to Benfica and still go through - and could win and go out. If they win, a four- or five-goal victory for CSKA would see them eliminated.

    CSKA Moscow: Can qualify - or go into the Europa League. If they lose, they are out. A draw will be enough for them to go through if Basel lose, but a victory may not be enough if Basel also win.

    Benfica: Already eliminated having lost their first five group games.
