    Sporting 0-1 Galatasaray

    Galatasaray take the lead... just.

    A cross is swung in from the left wing which keeper Rui Silva scoops off the line.

    Lucas Torreira then bundles it just the line - before Silva again scoops it away. But just too late.

    Liverpool 0-0 Atletico Madrid

    Interesting to see Bradley Barcola setting up on the right of the Liverpool attack with Rio Ngumoha starting left.

    I'm sure there'll be plenty of moving around during the game.

    Napoli 0-0 Arsenal

    With an average age of 28 years and 41 days, this is Arsenal's oldest starting XI in a Champions League match since November 2015 (28y 217d v Dinamo Zagreb).

    It's been a brilliant start for Liverpool and Atletico Madrid get it all wrong from kick-off. It comes to nothing in the end but a good and energetic start.

    Alexander Isak has to test Jan Oblak from that position. A huge early let off for Atletico Madrid.

    Liverpool 0-0 Atletico Madrid

    A really quick burst up the pitch from Dominik Szoboszlai. He picks out Alexander Isak to the right in the box and the big Swede will be disappointed with that finish across goal.

    It's a chance for someone of his talents.

    We'll have a moment of silence before kick-off to mark the victims of the recent Nepal flood disaster.

    Napoli v Arsenal (20:00 BST)

    Napoli

    Napoli boss Max Allegri: "We’re starting a different competition tomorrow.

    "It’s effectively a mini-tournament made up of eight games and we know we’re facing the Premier League champions and the Champions League runners-up.

    "Arteta has done an extraordinary job. Arsenal are a complete team that create a lot and also concede very few goals. Arteta has managed to instil a winning mentality in his team."

    Liverpool v Atletico Madrid (20:00 BST)

    There's something special about Anfield for Marcos Llorente.

    The Atletico Madrid man has scored four goals in two games on Liverpool's home turf.

    Rumour has it he's even named his dog Anfield.

    The word from Anfield is that Cody Gakpo hasn't been risked due to an adductor concern and it's nothing major. The hope is that he will be fit for Saturday's game against Fulham.

  15. Isak finds Liverpool formpublished at 19:56 BST 9 September

    Liverpool v Atletico Madrid (20:00 BST)

    Anfield was filled with excitement when the £125m signing of Alexander Isak was secured in the summer of 2025 but it didn't quite go to plan.

    An injury-hit season saw Isak appear just 14 times in the Premier League, where he scored three times.

    Now, three games into this new campaign, Isak has equalled his tally of last term and his double at Ipswich was quite brilliant.

    It's all about what ideas Iraola wants to implement. There is going to be a slight change. It might be slightly less methodical than under Slot.

    'It won't be 'death by a thousand passes' - he likes possession, but possession in the right areas. He likes his teams to be precise and direct.

    Napoli v Arsenal (20:00 BST)

    Arsenal have been in fine form in the Champions League for the past couple of years.

    Last season they didn’t lose a single game in normal time in the Champions League - only falling to PSG on penalties in the final.

    They only trailed for 42 minutes and 48 seconds of the whole tournament - and only conceded seven goals in 15 games.

    In 2024-25 they only lost to Inter Milan in the league phase and PSG in the semi-finals.

    It is important to get off to a good start in the group stage, especially with Bayern Munich and Real Madrid to follow. However, I can't help but wonder about Mikel Arteta yet again refusing to rest Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka. Bruno Guimaraes still not fit it seems is concerning as well.

    Charlie, Southampton

    Mikel Arteta going for a super physical selection with Piero Hincapie, Viktor Gyokeres and Mikel Merino all starting. Think they will run through a lightweight Napoli midfield.

    The other game tonight sees two teams who had good runs last year in action.

    Sporting finished in the top eight of the league phase and reached the quarter-finals where they lost 1-0 to Arsenal on aggregate.

    Galatasaray lost to Liverpool at the last 16 stage.
