Manchester City v Atletico Madrid

BT Sport 2, 8pm Tuesday

Atletico Madrid return to Manchester weeks after ending United's Champions League dream and Diego Simeone's in-form side are more than capable of putting a spoke in City's ambitions as well. The Spaniards are so well drilled that they will be solid and of course they carry a threat on the break.

Benfica v Liverpool

BT Sport 3, 8pm Tuesday

Liverpool won home and away to Portuguese league leaders Porto in the group stages, running riot 5-1 at the Estadio do Dragao before recording a more routine 2-0 success at Anfield.

Bet of the day

Salford to beat Port Vale 7.45pm Tuesday

Both teams have realistic promotion ambitions in League Two although but Vale's midfield looks threadbare with skipper Tom Conlon and star man Tom Pett ruled out while Brad Walker limped out of Saturday's 2-1 win at Barrow. Salford are unbeaten since the end of January and look good value to claim a fifth straight win.
