Man City v Borussia Dortmund

Man City -1 on handicap
Real Madrid v Liverpool
BT Sport 2, 8pm
Liverpool have had a tough start to the year but they showed glimpses of last season's title-winning quality in Saturday's 3-0 success at Arsenal and look the likelier first-leg winners against La Liga highflyers Real Madrid, who conceded at least two goals in four of their Champions League group-stage matches.

Bet of the day
Carlisle to beat Scunthorpe – 6.30pm
Carlisle are having a rollercoaster of a campaign but are back in the League Two promotion hunt after successive victories and can maintain their challenge with a home win over Scunthorpe, who may need a few more points to stave off the threat of relegation.
Goalscorer bet of the day
Real Madrid v Liverpool – BT Sport 2, 8pm
Liverpool attacker Diogo Jota was sorely missed during his mid-season spell on the sidelines but he has broken the deadlock in recent victories at Wolves (1-0) and Arsenal (3-0) and looks an obvious danger to Real Madrid, who have shown defensive vulnerability on several Champions League nights this season.
Best bet
Diogo Jota to score the first goal
Stat of the day
Brentford v Birmingham – 7pm
Brentford have kept just two clean sheets in their last 16 fixtures.
