Defending champions Chelsea marched to the top of Group H last night.

Thomas Tuchel’s side were 4-0 winners over Juventus at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea travel to St. Petersburg in a fortnight.

Tuchel was thrilled with his side's efforts:

They take on Porto tonight at Anfield.

The Reds manager says it's not always wise to unsettle a winning team:

Elsewhere in that group, Atletico Madrid entertain AC Milan.

Mauricio Pochettino must put rumours over a switch to Manchester United to one side tonight.

He’s in Manchester, leading his Paris Saint-Germain side into their Group A contest with Pep Guardiola’s City.

Pochettino refused to be drawn on whether he's in line to replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Old Trafford:

Group A’s other game pits Club Brugge against RB Leipzig.
