Manchester United
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer talking to BT Sport: "We want to build on the good performance against Liverpool [Sunday's 1-1 draw] and create momentum for four successive away games.
"We've started the group with two clean sheets and if we can get a win today it's a big step towards going through and it will end the talk about not winning away since PSG.
"Harry [Maguire] is looking forward to these games, we want to go one step further and get in the Champions League, that's why we brought him. He's one of the best defenders in the world."
On the club following Uefa's three-step protocol in the event of any racism: "We think those steps are the right ones. We need to give people the chance to prove they can behave. It's natural for use to follow the protocol but hopefully they can behave."
Partizan Belgrade v Man Utd (17:55 BST)
A surprising stat for you - despite being the most expensive defender in the world, tonight is Harry Maguire's European debut (excluding qualifiers).
His only previous outing in Europe was a 2014 Europa League qualifier as Hull lost 1-0 to Lokeren.
Slovan Bratislava v Wolves (17:55 BST)
Wolves boss Nuno Espírito Santo talking to BT Sport: "There will be a lot of young supporters here, the disappointment is our fans aren't here. There would be for sure thousands here.
"The punishment is correct, racism needs to be punished but we would like our fans to be here because they didn't do anything.
[On Bratislava being 33 games unbeaten at home] "It will be a tough game, We have to be focused but we trust ourselves and have to have a good performance.
"We have to manage the squad. All the players are ready, it is a tough schedule."

Former Manchester United skipper Bryan Robson laid a wreath at a ceremony held in Belgrade this morning on behalf of the victims of the Munich air crash.
United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward gave an address at the ceremony, which took place at the Partizan Stadium.
It is only the second time they have been back to the city since the crash in 1958, which happened after a refuelling stop on the way back from Belgrade, where Matt Busby’s side had drawn with Red Star to reach the European Cup semi-finals.
Partizan Belgrade v Man Utd (17:55 BST)
The FK Partizan Stadium is a poignant venue for Manchester United, as it is where the Busby Babes lined up for the final time before the Munich air disaster in 1958.
Matt Busby's team played Partizan’s arch-rivals Red Star back on that occasion with a 3-3 draw helping United to a 5-4 aggregate win and a place in the semi-finals of the European Cup.
Sian Massey-Ellis will become the first Englishwoman to officiate in a men's European fixture when she is assistant referee for PSV Eindhoven's game against LASK (20:00 BST).
In August, Massey-Ellis became the first woman to officiate in the Community Shield.
"It's been a dream of mine to officiate in a European competition," she said.

Stuart & Matthew (17:23). Couldn't agree more. Watching MOTD with my lads for years and I always told them to watch Sian for her positioning and the fact she was seldom, if ever, incorrect with her decisions. Slow mo replays confirmed her decisions every time. Top quality AR without a doubt.

Partizan Belgrade head coach Savo Milosevic hopes tonight’s tie will be a "celebration of football".
"I expect everything to be fair and in the spirit of the sport," said ex-Aston Villa striker Milosevic.
"We know of our supporters, we are aware of the importance of the game and we are also aware of the problems we have had in the past.
"But this game will once again be a celebration of football, so I don't expect any problems in that regard. We all know how important the support from the home fans can be."
