    Lens 0-0 Sevilla

    Sevilla have only won four matches this season, two of which have come against minnows in the Copa de Rey.

    But if they beat Lens tonight they'll leapfrog the French side up into third and will be able to defend their Europa League crown.

    They've just struck the bar at Lens with Adria Pedrosa flicking Ivan Rakitic's low cross against the woodwork.

    But here's a cheap corner for PSV as William Saliba heads behind a tame cross from Armando Obispo.

    Patrick Van Aanholt's resulting strike is into a wall of Arsenal defenders.

    It's a brilliant equaliser for PSV.

    Ricardo Pepi picks up the ball in space just outside the box and he's aware of the run by Yorbe Vertessen to his left.

    It comes to Vertessen and he opens his body, placing it perfectly in off the inside of the far post. It bounces back off the other post and nestles into the netting. Lovely finish.

    Raphael Varane and Harry Maguire are partnered together in central defence for Manchester United tonight.

    It marks a significant switch in thinking for Erik ten Hag, who has previously said he does not want Maguire to play on the left, meaning - for all but the Crystal Palace game in the EFL Cup - it has been one of the pair, but not both.

    It was increasingly hard to see how that stance made sense given Maguire has been playing so well and Varane was not getting a game.

    Tonight, when United backs are against the wall, Ten Hag has changed his mind.

    Manchester United make two changes as Raphael Varane and Rasmus Hojlund come in for Sergio Reguilón and Anthony Martial.

    It is Varane's first start for the hosts since the 1-0 win against FC Copenhagen on 24 October. Marcus Rashford misses out because of illness.

    Man Utd XI: Onana, Dalot, Maguire, Varane, Shaw, Amrabat, McTominay, Fernandes, Antony, Hojlund, Garnacho.

    Subs: Bayindir, Heaton, Evans, Reguilon, Wan-Bissaka, Gore, Hannibal, Mainoo, Pellistri, Hugill

    As expected, England captain Harry Kane leads the line for Bayern Munich.

    The striker is flanked by Kingsley Coman and former Manchester City winger Leroy Sane with Jamal Musiala just behind.

    Bayern Munich XI: Neuer, Mazraoui, Upamecano, Kim, Davies, Goretzka, Kimmich, Coman, Musiala, Sane, Kane.

    Subs: Da Paretz, Choupo-Moting, Guerreiro, Muller, Laimer, Tel, Kratzig, Pavlovic.

    We'll have team news from Old Trafford soon.

    But will we see any changes from Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta at half-time?

    He's got some big names on the bench, as well as three teenagers who will be desperate for some game time in the Champions League.

    The roof at Old Trafford is leaking but - even more pertinently and worryingly - so is Manchester United's defence.

    Saturday's 3-0 home defeat by Bournemouth was embarrassing, left Erik ten Hag "annoyed" and "disappointed" and, realistically, could have been worse.

    It was the fifth time already this season that United have conceded three goals at Old Trafford.

    To put into context how dramatically things have deteriorated since the optimism of Ten Hag's first campaign in charge, United did not concede three goals at home in any game last season.

    Before this season, the last time United conceded three goals at home was in their 5-0 Premier League defeat by Liverpool in October 2021.

    With a must-win Champions League meeting with free-scoring German champions Bayern Munich, gaps must be plugged and defensive frailties forgotten.

    However, with Harry Kane and his team-mates reeling from a shock 5-1 loss to Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday, United fans could be forgiven for worrying about more than just a leaky roof again at Old Trafford.

    It is a huge European night at Old Trafford but Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag spends the first part of his programme notes going over Saturday's 3-0 home hammering by Bournemouth.

    "I frequently talk about high standards that both I and club demand," he said.

    "There are no excuses for how far short we all fell of those standards on Saturday.

    "That goes for myself and the players and the responsibility is on all of us, together with our staff, to turn things around and find the way to consistently perform to our full capabilities on matchday.

    "It is no good turning in a strong performance every other game. We are capable of much more than that."

    With all eyes on Group A tonight, and a short turnaround between the games, we'll start building up to Manchester United's crucial clash with Bayern Munich throughout the second half.

    It's all to play for with United needing to win and hoping for a draw between Copenhagen and Galatasaray in order to progress.

    Arsenal lead at the break thanks to Eddie Nketiah's cool finish.

    PSV Eindhoven have had their chances but Arsenal's maturity has shown so far.

    Both sides also hit the woodwork. No jeopardy in this game but there's been some nice football.

    Johan Bakayoko again.

    He comes in off the right and tests Aaron Ramsdale with a decent strike from the edge of the box.

    The Arsenal goalkeeper scrambles to push it behind for a corner.
