Wednesday Preview: Liverpool, City, Arsenal and Real Madrid All in Champions League Action

The Champions League league phase continues on Wednesday night with another nine fixtures, headlined by Liverpool’s trip to Fenerbahce, Manchester City’s visit to RB Leipzig, Arsenal against Slavia Prague and Real Madrid at AEK Athens.

Liverpool arrive in Turkey with a perfect nine points from three games, while hosts Fenerbahce sit 31st with just two points — though they will take heart from a 2-2 home draw with Slavia Prague last time out.

City, by contrast, need a response: back-to-back Premier League defeats to Aston Villa and Brighton have dented their domestic form, and Leipzig — beaten 4-1 by Real Madrid last time out but winners over PSV before that — desperately need points of their own after losing two of their first three European games.

What to watch

Arsenal, top of the Premier League after Sunday’s win at Anfield, host Slavia Prague, while Real Madrid — also on maximum points — travel to AEK Athens, and Porto face Napoli in the night’s other heavyweight tie.

Tuesday’s fallout

Wednesday’s sides will have watched PSG hit six at Villarreal and United stage a famous comeback against Roma — the bar for drama has been set high.
