UEFA Champions League

Utd face Juve; Real meet Plzen

Paul Pogba will return to the club that shaped him as Manchester United travel to Turin tonight to take on Juventus in the Champions League.

Cristiano Ronaldo marked a goalless homecoming on the previous matchday at Old Trafford as the Italian giants secured a 1-0 win, but Pogba will be needed to make much more of a direct impact as the Red Devils aim to secure some desperately needed points.

They are currently second in the Group H table with four points, equal with Valencia, who take on Young Boys.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid will be hoping to continue their fast start under new coach Santiago Solari against Viktoria Plzen. Solari has secured two wins so far, including a tightly-contested 2-1 win against Plzen in the reverse fixture. Roma, equal with Real at the top of Group G with six points, will take on CSKA Moscow.

He will be hoping for smoother sailing this time around while fans will be hoping wunderkind Vinicius Jr carries on with his electric form.

Elsewhere, Manchester City take on Shakhtar Donetsk while Lyon square up to Hoffenheim in the Group F fixtures.

Group E leaders Benfica face Ajax while Bayern, who are tied on seven points with the leaders, take on AEK Athens  in that group's other clash.
