M1 Dinamo Kiev vs Bayern Munich: Having already qualified for the last 16, Bayern will look to secure first place in Group E away to a Dynamo side who have to win to stay in contention. The German champions have won all four of their fixtures in the group, including a 5-0 home win against Dynamo on 29 Sept.

M2 Villarreal vs Manchester United: Group F leaders Man Utd go to Villarreal with the sides level on seven points. The Red Devils will go through if they beat Villarreal, or if both games in the group are drawn, while Villarreal will progress with a win if Atalanta do not beat Young Boys.

M3 Blackpool vs West Bromwich Albion: Blackpool have picked up two points from their past three Championship fixtures. West Brom have slipped to third, after losing at Huddersfield on Saturday.

M4 Nottingham Forest vs Luton Town: Three of Forest’s last four games ended in 1-1 draws. Luton are only one point above them in the Championship standings.

M5 Barcelona vs Benfica: A revived Barcelona, now led by former star midfielder Xavi, welcome Benfica knowing that a third successive Group E victory would seal progress at the expense of opponents who inflicted a heavy defeat on the Spanish side in Lisbon.

M6 Chelsea vs Juventus: The top two in Champions League Group H meet at Stamford Bridge as leaders Juventus visit holders Chelsea looking to confirm first place in the section.

M7 Lille vs FC Salzburg: Salzburg are still top of Group G despite losing their last game at VfL Wolfsburg. Lille are back into contention after winning at Sevilla in their last Champions League outing.

M8 Malmo FF vs Zenit St Petersburg: Malmö and Zenit both face a must-win fixture in Sweden, with the home side looking to finish third and the visitors seeking to keep alive their faint hopes of a top-two finish in Champions League Group H.

M9 Sevilla vs Wolfsburg: A surprise home defeat by Lille in their last Champions League outing has left Sevilla bottom of Group F. Wolfsburg have five points after a win over Salzburg in their last group match.

M10 Young Boys Berne vs Atalanta: Atalanta and Young Boys must both win to stay in contention to reach the round of 16 without having to depend on other results. The Swiss side will be confirmed bottom of Group F if they lose.
