European Cup Fixtures Tonight: Manchester City v Bayer Leverkusen & More
Welcome to another night of exciting European Cup football. 9 games are scheduled for tonight, featuring three English teams in action. Chelsea take on Barça in the marquee fixture of the evening, whilst Newcastle visit the French side and City welcome Leverkusen.
League Table
We're at the halfway stage of the league stage, so the standings is beginning to form. All six English teams are currently in the top 12, however there are only two points separating fifth and 16th position, so there's a sense of volatility about the entire situation. Everything is to play for.
Match Schedule
Here are tonight’s games, all starting at 8pm unless stated:
- Benfica lead Ajax 1-0 (17:45)
- Galatasaray 0-0 Union SG (17:45)
- Juventus face Bodo/Glimt
- Chelsea v Barcelona
- Dortmund v Villarreal
- Leverkusen visit Man City

Wesley Fofana, Caicedo, Garnacho, Gusto and Estevao all come into the Chelsea lineup. Dropped are Tosin Adarabioyo, Andrey Santos, Gittens, Joao Pedro and Delap.

Past Meetings
The sole past encounter involving Marseille and Newcastle was the Europa League semifinal of 2004, claimed by an rising superstar from Côte d'Ivoire. Bayer Leverkusen and Manchester City have not faced each other previously. Barcelona and Chelsea have a notable history.
Initial Game Reports
Just one goal in the first half of the two early games. Dahl's 6th-minute sizzler has given Benfica under Mourinho a one-nil lead at the Dutch side.
Newcastle’s Trip to Marseille
Although Newcastle traveled to the south of France fresh from their restorative two-one home Premier League victory over City on Saturday, and having defeated Union Saint-Gilloise, the Portuguese side and Athletic Bilbao in the Champions League, their only away victory since early April came in Brussels at Union SG.
It's not that Eddie Howe was eager to talk about the psychological aspect of this travel sickness. “The Champions League is different to domestic games,” said the coach, whose side are sixth in the Champions League standings, with nine points from a possible 12 and direct qualification to the last 16 nearly secured. “I am not sure if you can draw parallels between them.”
We have a separate live blog for Chelsea v Barcelona. Scott Murray, the MBM version of Diego Maradona is handling for that.
