Since that opening day, where Copenhagen beat Lugano in the other fixture, there has only been one victory in the entire group with Malmo beating Lugano in matchweek three. That has led to three teams all being very closely grouped and qualification could still, realistically, go any way at the moment. The winner of this fixture would hold a massive advantage going into the final round of games whilst the loser would almost definitely be assured of playing their last game in the competition in December.

He takes up the story. The similarities are uncanny. We both played Roma, we played Basel, we both had amazing victories against the odds to reach the final. With Fulham we had to beat Basel in the last game of the group stages to get through to the knockout stage. And we did it against a team who had a remarkable record at home in Europe where I don't think they'd lost for a couple of years, including the Champions League.

I had conversations with players of 20 minutes or half an hour, practically every week. Individually as well. And when I finished the conversation I went to the delegate of the team and asked if the message had been understood.

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard was left fuming with the decisions, not least after he saw Harry Maguire score for Manchester United against his side on Monday after escaping a red card of his own. It is not good enough, that is two VARs in two games, it is hard to shout about it when you have lost but today everybody saw that.

Blackpool 3-2 Cardiff CityA sun-baked late May afternoon saw Blackpool and Cardiff City go head-to-head in the Championship play-off final.

The strike against Crystal Palace was as clinical as a surgeon's scalpel. Of all the Liverpool forwards this season, I think Sadio Mane has been their most consistent. There have been times when he has carried Salah through games, especially when Roberto Firmino has been absent. However when all three are on song, as we saw against Crystal Palace, there cannot be a better forward line anywhere in the world.
In America it's different to back home," he says. Because the country is so big, and there's no relegation or promotion, the only way you stay in one place is if you're average. What I can say now to any person at a club is, I've walked a mile in their shoes. I've been a player, an academy coach, an assistant coach in MLS, I've a head coach, a general manager, a technical director at a youth programme.
I've had a five-minute conversation with Daniel Stendel and from that five-minute conversation he has come out and said he can't trust anyone at Hearts," he said. That, for me, is embarrassing.

=12.0ptThe grand separating factor here is the home form for Valencia and Atletico’s struggles away from. Key too is the fact that these sides have not been known for scoring a lot of goals in recent times. Valencia have not scored more than one goal in 11 of 12 matches and Atletico have not scored more than one in their last six matches. This coupled with Atletico’s away form, we will back Valencia for a narrow win; a 1-0 victory for the home side will do.
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says that Paul Pogba's return to fitness was the "only plus" from his side's 2-0 defeat at Watford.

Pogba, 26, showed some nice touches despite being unable to help United retrieve the two-goal deficit. He gave us that little bit of edge, quality and urgency," Solskjaer said.

Lawro's prediction: 2-1Aitch's prediction: 2-0 Chelsea v Man City (20:15 BST)Chelsea got a good win against Aston Villa on Sunday but they are still a work in progress.
