    Shakhtar Donetsk v Man City (20:00 BST)

    It was more a shock at the weekend to see Manchester City make those mistakes. It rocked people because it looked casual, it looked lacklustre. But I don't think that's going to be the norm, it was the exception.

    City have had the number on Shakhtar for a few years now, and even though they're missing players at the back I think the rest of the team will make up for that in the way they control the game.

    Remember Rajiv van la Parra? Ex-Wolves winger who couldn't get a game at Huddersfield last year?

    He starts at the Allianz for Red Star, having completed a move on the final day of the Serbian transfer window.

    Jerome G: Kane is a poor man's Solskjaer or Fowler. Moura should have played the CL final and Kane might be a good pen taker but so am I and I could have as many goals as he does.

    Paris St-Germain will be without their entire first-choice strike force of Neymar, Edinson Cavani and Kylian Mbappe.

    Neymar is suspended after insulting match officials last season, while Cavani and Mbappe are both injured.

    Former Stoke forward Eric Choupo-Moting could start, with doubts over the match fitness of loan signing Mauro Icardi.

    "Everybody knows we miss a few strikers but I trust the players I have for this game," said PSG boss Thomas Tuchel.

    Ideozu-Frank Sampson: Thinking now Premiership clubs should pay attention to this Daniel Podence. Truth be told, he would do just fine at clubs like Everton or West Ham Utd!

    There has been zilch to talk about in the evening's other early match.

    Galatasaray have had plenty of the ball - boasting 61% of the possession - but so far have only tested home keeper Simon Mignolet once. That's one more shot on target than the hosts have had mind...

    Spurs a much, much better team when Ben Davies replaces Rose. Should start in the league too.

    Shakhtar Donetsk v Manchester City (20:00 BST)

    The Donbas Arena, Shakhtar's former home, hosted the Euro 2012 semi-final. World champions Spain beat Portugal on penalties in front of a capacity crowd and the hundreds of millions watching on TV. There's no football played here now. The only sign of its former life is a sign reading 'keep off the grass'.

    The stadium has been badly damaged twice - once when a shell crashed into the arena, starting a fire, and again when a Ukrainian rocket landed nearby. The shockwaves shook part of the roof off. It's had rudimentary repairs, but there's a long way to go before the place can be considered safe.

    When Shakhtar meet Manchester City again in the Champions League this year, it won't be here but in Kharkiv, 100 miles to the west.

    Loves a goal against anyone, to be honest

    Juventus’ Cristiano Ronaldo is the all-time top goalscorer in the Champions League (126, excluding qualifiers) and has scored in over half of his 162 appearances in the competition (82 different games); another record in the competition.

    Ronaldo has scored 25 goals in his career against Atletico Madrid; only against Sevilla (27) has he scored more in all competitions.

    Well he deserves that.

    Another cracking goal, as Olympiakos' two best players in the half combine, a one-two between Daniel Podence and Mathieu Valbuena releases the number 10 into a gap between Ben Davies and Jan Vertonghen. Podence is able to steady himself on the right of the area and then clip a low shot across Hugo Lloris and into the far corner.
