Partizan | 20:45 | Shakhtar Donetsk |

Carlo Ancelotti wants Chelsea FC to put their current run of three Premier League losses in four games behind them and take the "great chance" they have against MŠK Žilina to clinch first place in UEFA Champions League Group F. Žilina, without a point, need victory and an FC Spartak Moskva loss to Olympique de Marseille to have any chance of UEFA Europa League football after their 7-0 home defeat by OM, but coach Pavel Hapal says they are "determined to make up for it" at Stamford Bridge.

Buoyed by a 1-0 win at FK Partizan on Matchday 4, SC Braga welcome Arsenal FC still firmly believing that a place in the UEFA Champions League round of 16 is within reach.
Braga currently sit third in Group H – three points shy of Arsenal and FC Shakhtar Donetsk – but defender Alberto Rodríguez feels that the momentum is with last season's Portuguese Liga runners-up. "The team spirit is good," he said. "We are thinking only about tomorrow's match and are ready to win."
It seems that not even the lingering memory of a 6-0 defeat by Arsène Wenger's side on Matchday 1 can dent their confidence. "We are better than we were in the first match against Arsenal," added the Peruvian. "Nobody in the team expected that result. Now we think in a different way because we know we have to win if we want to continue in the Champions League."
