The action returns this evening with Marseille preparing to host Newcastle United in a highly anticipated clash at the Stade Vélodrome.

Both sides are looking to strengthen their position in the group, with the atmosphere expected to be electric as the French club welcomes the Premier League visitors.

Elsewhere in tonight’s fixtures, Manchester City take on Bayer Leverkusen in what promises to be a high-intensity encounter, as City look to maintain their strong European form against one of Germany’s most in-form teams.

Barcelona are also on the road, travelling to London to face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues head into the match hoping to extend their five-game unbeaten run, but will face a major test against the Spanish giants, who continue to be one of Europe’s most formidable sides.
