 Previews
FC Spartak Moskva coach Valeri Karpin bills the Group F visit of Olympique de Marseille as "our match of the season", while Didier Deschamps says his OM side will "play to win".
With his FC Spartak Moskva team locked on six points with Olympique de Marseille, coach Valeri Karpin described the Group F visit of the French champions as "our match of the season", knowing as he does that a victory would confirm their place in the knockout stage. Any win would suffice for the hosts while an OM triumph other than 1-0 would be enough for Didier Deschamps' men to advance alongside Group F leaders Chelsea FC.

Group stage (Group E) - Stadio Olimpico - Rome

Roma

Bayern

 AS Roma know victory against already-qualified FC Bayern München could confirm their last-16 place, with Claudio Ranieri wanting a win "to avoid unpleasant surprises" on Matchday 6.
 Claudio Ranieri hopes his ever-improving AS Roma can remove all pressure from their final Group E fixture next month by defeating already-qualified FC Bayern München on Tuesday. Should they do that, and FC Basel 1893 and CFR 1907 Cluj draw in Switzerland, the Giallorossi – unbeaten in seven matches – would join their opponents in the last 16. Any other set of results would leave the Serie A club's prospects in the balance ahead of their Matchday 6 trip to Romania

CFR Cluj

Thorsten Fink says his FC Basel 1893 side "won't go hell for leather" against CFR 1907 Cluj in a Group E contest that the visitors' Sorin Cârţu describes as "all-or-nothing"
Thorsten Fink has promised a safety-first approach from his FC Basel 1893 team as they bid to engineer a victory against CFR 1907 Cluj which would keep the Swiss club in contention for a place in the UEFA Champions League's last 16. Level on points with their opponents at the foot of section, Basel will be out if they lose, while a draw would spell the end for both teams should AS Roma defeat FC Bayern München in the other Group E fixture.

Martin Jol described Real Madrid CF coach José Mourinho as "the best in his line of work" but promised AFC Ajax would take a positive approach as they seek maximum points.Martin Jol will take a positive approach as he sends his AFC Ajax team out to seek victory against Real Madrid CF but he is wary of the man he describes as "the best" – José Mourinho. Mourinho's team are already through from UEFA Champions League Group G but the Portuguese wants first place though he understands it will not be easy against an Ajax who will be fired up for a match they must win to keep the pressure on second-placed AC Milan.

Milan

AJ Auxerre coach Jean Fernandez wants to "create an upset" while AC Milan's Massimiliano Allegri is determined not to take a backward step in the quest to qualify from Group G.
Having recorded their first UEFA Champions League Group G victory at the fourth attempt, at home to AFC Ajax last time out, AJ Auxerre have their tails up and will, in the words of coach Jean Fernandez, aim to "create an upset" against AC Milan at the Stade Abbé-Deschamps. The Rossoneri defeated Auxerre 2-0 on Matchday 1 and are flying in Serie A, yet are taking nothing for granted in the race to qualify along with Real Madrid CF from a keenly-contested section.
