It’s another busy night of football this evening, with Chelsea, Manchester City and Fulham all in action.
Champions League:
Chelsea v Schalke
Bayern Munich v Manchester City
Championship:
Nottingham Forest v Fulham
Chelsea begin their Champions League campaign with a home match against German side Schalke, who sit second from bottom in the Bundesliga after an awful start to the season.
Jose Mourinho’s side by contrast have begun the season superbly, and have won all four of their opening Premier League games. Diego Costa is in particularly fine form, and has seven goals already.
Local rivals Fulham are also in action tonight, as they travel to high-flying Nottingham Forest in the Championship. Standard Sport understands that anything other than a win will mean the sack for beleaguered manager Felix Magath.
Manchester City meanwhile have a glamour tie in the Champions League, as they take on German giants Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena. Manuel Pellegrini’s team won the equivalent fixture 3-2 last season but lost 3-1 to Bayern at the Etihad.
