    Group G is the group of the night as all four teams can still qualify. Rangers are at home to Young Boys, FC Porto face Feyenoord. Rangers are through with a win or draw and out if they lose and Porto beat Feyenoord.

    Lots of empty seats at Old Trafford tonight - is anything else happening?

    But there are quite a few who have made the short trip from Holland - and they are making plenty of noise.

    Group supremacy on the game here - but it could be fun off the pitch.

    Eintracht Frankfurt 2-3 Vitoria Guimaraes

    All over in Germany in the other game in Group F as Eintracht Frankfurt throw away top spot by conceding twice in the last five minutes and Vitoria Guimaraes' win leaves Arsenal as group winners.

    Cluj 2-0 Celtic

    Cluj boss Dan Petrescu looks a happy man. His team are going into the last 32 after a comfortable win over Celtic.

    Neil Lennon's side don't look too disappointed they are already through as Group E winners.

  12. Ex-Spurs man helps Arsenalpublished at 19:49 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2019

    Eintracht Frankfurt 2-3 Vitoria Guimaraes

    By the way, Marcus Edwards, whose third goal for Vitoria Guimaraes confirmed Arsenal as group winners, began his career at Tottenham's academy.

    He played once in a loan spell at Norwich and has represented England at Under-20 level before he moved to the Portuguese side in September.

    Arsenal draw to go through top of the group.

    Eintracht Frankfurt 2-3 Vitoria Guimaraes

    And it gets even better for Arsenal. Marcus Edwards has scored a third for Vitoria Guimaraes, who now lead 3-2 against Eintracht Frankfurt and pretty much guarantees top spot for the Gunners.

    That goal has lifted the Liege fans, whose side will qualify if they score one more.

    Arsenal top, Liege still in with a chance of second.

  15. Arsenal go top of the grouppublished at 19:41 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2019

    Eintracht Frankfurt 2-2 Vitoria Guimaraes

    Great news for Arsenal coming from Germany.

    Eintracht Frankfurt were denying the Gunners top spot, but not any more. An 85th-minute equaliser from Vitoria Guimaraes' Al Musrati has made it 2-2.

    Arsenal only need to match Frankfurt's result to top the group. If it stays the same in Germany and in Belgium that will make the Gunners last-32 tie a lot easier.

    Bukayo Saka (Arsenal)

    Lovely finish.

    He made one two minutes ago, and Bukayo Saka now has a goal to his name. He creates space on the edge of the area and curls it past Amaud Bodart in the Liege goal.

    One more goal for Arsenal to qualify as group winners and avoid the likes of Ajax, RB Salzburg, Inter Milan and Benfica.

    Alexandre Lacazette (Arsenal)

    The home fans go silent and Arsenal's increasing panic is now over. Bukayo Saka, who had a fine first half, sends in an excellent cross from the left flank and Alexandre Lacazette heads home from close range.

    However, Arsenal are still only going to be qualifying as group runners-up unless they get two more goals. They have 10 minutes and injury-time to do so.

    You're 2-0 down, you have one of the best strikers in the Premier League on the bench so who do you bring on?

    That's right, Calum Chambers. Ainsley Maitland-Niles goes off.
