Not too many games this matchday that really capture the imagination. On Tuesday I suppose most people will watch Liverpool-Lyon, and then on Wednesday it's the 20th century CL classic Real Madrid vs. AC Milan which is probably the most interesting game. Bordeaux-Bayern and CSKA-Man. Utd. could be good too.

Tonight, I will be glued to Inter vs Kyiv (even tho I really want to catch the latest episode of Stargate Universe). Liverpool-Lyon, Stuttgart-Sevilla are also intriguing ties.

Tom, I guess I will watch Real-Milan, should be fun. Bordeaux-Bayern looks interesting as well.

When you think of how goals are actually scored, and how in any one move 2-3 players could have shot or passed it or hit someone for someone else to tap in...predictions like that are ridiculous.

AZ are down and out : Arsenal will slaughter them

Same goes for Fantasy Football really!

Anyhow, today I'll be hoping to catch Stuttgart-Sevilla. No Negredo but hopefully Sevilla can still make it 2 out of 3 Spanish teams with a 100% record.

Tomorrow obviously Real Madrid-Milan.

Liverpool v Lyon obviously and I'll keep a look out for every game......

Sky Multiview + Goal Alert hurrah :cheer:

you could also include the time of the goal, thanks, it will make it easier to switch between the matches in order to catch them

Why not? It's "predictions" after all! And they often go wrong. I'm predicting "most likely" results, and scorers.

Liverpool Lyon looks the most interesting, shame about the injuries though. That group could be an exciting 3 way battle.

I hope we win tonight. Not only to qualify as group leaders but to continue this winning run we are in.

A confident Arsenal team is a very dangerous one.

Liverpool-Lyon should be a great game!

Fiorentina are thinking of resting Gila tonight.... is Prandelli serious?? This is a must win for them!!! If they dont get 6 points from the Debrecen, they might as well kiss qualification goodbye!!

Inter vs Kyiv: Line ups:

No surprises for Inter. Eto'o replaces Balotelli, rest if the same as what we saw against Genoa. Lets see if this experimental formation can work again!

Inter: Julio Cesar; Maicon, Lucio, Samuel, Chivu; Zanetti, Cambiasso, Muntari; Stankovic, Sneijder; Eto’o
Inter bench: Toldo, Cordoba, Vieira, Suazo, Materazzi, Mancini, Santon

Dynamo Kiev: Bogush; Eremenko, Khacheridi, Leandro Almeida, Magrao; Mikhalik, Vukojevic, Ninkovic; Shevchenko, Yarmolenko; Milevskiy
Dynamo bench: Rybka, Beato, Aliyev, Gusev, Kravets, Yussuf, Zozulya

Any links for the barca game?

Johnson will be a big miss, Kelly is a teenage centre back and probably wont have the same impact

Rest of the team looks good.

VV,Alves,Pique,Marquez,Abidal,Xavi,Yaya,Iniesta,Messi,Ibra,Pedro
