Under the lights
Settle in and cue the music – the Champions League is back.
This madcap new format has thrown up goals galore in the early weeks of the season.
Nobody appears quite sure what is going on and why, but it’s all good fun as we head into Gameweek 3.
There are 9 games on the slate tonight, including two early kick-offs from Italy and France.
AC Milan welcome Club Brugge, looking to get their first point of the tournament, while Red Star Belgrade visit a Monaco team unbeaten since early August.
Arsenal and Aston Villa both continue their own European adventures later on, with home ties under the lights.
The Gunners face Shakhtar at the Emirates for the first time since 2010, when they put 5 past the Ukrainians.
While Villa hope to continue their fairytale return to the biggest stage, hosting Bologna and targeting a third-straight win.
Let’s get this show on the road.
