    Sevilla v Lens (20:00 BST)

    Last season's Europa League winners Sevilla are back in action this evening and are joined by French side Lens.

    Lens finished within a point of Paris St. Germain last season, however they have only picked up one point so far this season and sit at the bottom of Ligue 1.

    The French team have not featured in the Champions League in 20 years.

    Former Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic and ex-Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos could be in action tonight for Sevilla giving the Spanish side a strong core of experience throughout the team.

    Lens manager Frank Haise told the press yesterday: "When I see Sevilla's games, I don't see a struggling team. Sevilla have huge experience in the Champions League. We're boxing above our weight but it's a football game."

    Mikel Arteta has urged his Arsenal players to "make the most of it" as the Gunners return to the Champions League stage after a six-year absence.

    Arteta's side face early Dutch league leaders PSV Eindhoven - the first time Emirates Stadium has hosted a game in the competition since March 2017.

    "We've been fighting for it," said Arteta, who takes charge of a Champions League game for the first time.

    "I've played in a few for the club and I have beautiful memories about them."

    Bayern Munich v Manchester United (20:00 BST)

    Stephen Warnock
    Former England defender on BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast

    It's always a difficult place to come and it will be very difficult with confidence low.

    However, Bayern have not quite clicked yet, they have also suffered from injuries and their manager Thomas Tuchel is suspended so will not be on the sidelines.

    Ten Hag will know that if they can get at least a draw that will set them up to do well.

    They should have enough against the other teams and try to win their home games. It is going to be tough but we know how quickly form can change.

    They can easily win this group. It's a big ask - but it can happen.

  11. 'Hojlund will be massive for them'published at 19:50 British Summer Time 20 September 2023

    I think Manchester United can only play one way which is counter-attacking football. I don’t think they have the players or the dynamism to get after teams which causes them a problem.

    I’ll give Manchester United a chance in Munich because Bayern Munich will suit United as they will come onto them and then they will be able to counter-attack.

    Erik Ten Hag is trying to find a formation and a style which suits the team I think Rasmus Hojlund will be massive for them.

    He wants to concentrate on coaching and he is having to focus more on culture.

    Harry Kane hasn't had to wait long for the chance to face English opposition again after joining Bayern Munich from Tottenham Hotspur.

    "They [United] have been going through a tough spell recently but sometimes that can make a team dangerous because they want to respond," the England striker said.

    "We're at home and want to control the game but we need to be careful of their threat. I don't think about form because every game can be different. There can be big response from teams going through a difficult spell."

    Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel, who won the tournament with Chelsea in 2021, serves a touchline ban tonight.

    Speaking about Kane, he said: "In time he will make players around him better and will learn how to make them shine. He will assist and not only score. He will be the difference and he's already the difference.

    "He is very important and that's why we relied heavily on this transfer and I'm 100% convinced he will prove us right."

    Not much effect on the noisy band of rain-soaked PSV Eindhoven fans tucked in their corner. We have had bouncing, singing, drumming. They will be playing their part for coach Peter Bosz's side tonight.

    FT: Galatasaray 2-2 Copenhagen

    Well Galatasaray have had a two-minute comeback to bring the score level.

    Sacha Boey with the first one, managing to sneak it past Kamil Grabara near post.

    Two minutes later Wilfried Zaha created the leveller, out on the left-wing swinging a ball to the edge of the box for Tete to hit it first time on the volley.

    Copenhagen will be disappointed to give up the two-goal lead.

    Real Madrid 1-0 Union Berlin

    There's no time for Union Berlin to do anything about it. Jude Bellingham gets the winner and the headlines.

    Real Madrid, who also hit the post twice in that second half, get a deserved victory but left it as late as possible to get it.

    GOAL - Real Madrid 1-0 Union Berlinpublished at 90+4 mins

    Jude Bellingham

    Jude Bellingham has surely won it in the fourth minute of injury time.

    Union Berlin fall asleep from a short corner, Federico Valverde has time and space to shoot from the edge of the penalty area. It takes a couple of deflections and falls perfectly for Jude Bellingham who buries from two yards out.

    That's six goals in six games for the England midfielder.
