Group E
Spartak Moskva vs Liverpool
Liverpool travel to Russia to take on Spartak in confident mood following a good outing over the weekend in the league.

This will be the fifth meeting between them, with 2 wins apiece. But when both sides last met in 2002, it was Liverpool who came out tops, winning home and away.
Sevilla vs Maribor
After their opening day draws to Liverpool and Spartan Moskva respectively, these two battle in Spain, with contrasting results at the weekend.
Sevilla lost to Atletico Madrid, while Maribor picked up an away win at Aluminij. Tonight is their third meeting with a win for Sevilla and draw in the other two.
Group F
Manchester City vs Shakhtar Donetsk
Pep Guardiola’s rampaging City side are group leaders and will be looking for their second win of the season, having won their first 4-0 at Feyenoord.
Shakhtar also began their campaign with a win, having beaten Napoli 2-1 at home.
But with both sides in good form, there first meeting in Europe at the Etihad tonight promises to be an exciting one.
Napoli vs Feyenoord
Two sides looking to bounce back from their opening day defeats to Shakhtar Donetsk and Man City respectively meet at the Stadio San Paolo when Napoli host Dutch champions, Feyenoord.
It’s the first time they are meeting with Feyenoord playing away for the first time in 15 years.
However, Napoli go into tonight’s game in better shape as they have won their last three matches, including the 6-1 demolition of Lazio at the venue of the game against Feyenoord, who have lost two of theirs.
Group G
Monaco vs Porto
Monaco hosts Porto with both sides looking to get off the mark, having dropped points in their opening games.
The home side drew away at newcomers, RB Leipzig, while Porto were beaten 3-1 at home by Besiktas.
In what is the repeat of the 2004 CL final, won by Porto 3-0, Monaco will be hoping for a revenge, especially with Radamel Falcao in blistering form.
In the other group game, Besiktas host RB Leipzig looking to strengthen their position as group leaders.
The home side won their opening game in style, winning 3-1 at Porto, while Leipzig began their first ever CL season with positive home draw against Monaco.
However, Leipzig have a daunting task when they take on Besiktas tonight at the Besiktas Park, where the home side have not lost in nine European games.

Both sides have been paired for the fifth time in six CL seasons, but Real Madrid are yet to pick up a win away at Dotmund in six matches.
Elsewhere, joint group leaders, Tottenham, hope to build on their opening day win against Dortmund when they take on Apoel, who lost 3-0 to Real Madrid.
