Real Madrid preview: Huge problems at the back
Real Madrid are dealing with a defensive injury crisis ahead of this one, and with El Clasico to come at the weekend, no risks will be taken. Antonio Rudiger and Dean Huijsen are both out, while Trent Alexander-Arnold and Ferland Mendy have only just returned to training. David Alaba will also need to be assessed after he was forced off at the weekend.
Predicted lineup: Courtois (GK), Valverde, Militao, Asencio, Carreras, Camavinga, Tchouameni, Bellingham, Guler, Vinicius, Mbappe
Last five results
- Nottingham Forest 0-3 Chelsea
- Chelsea 2-1 Liverpool
- Chelsea 1-0 Benfica
- Chelsea 1-3 Brighton
- Lincoln 1-2 Chelsea
Juventus preview: Lacking confidence
After a bright start to the season, Juventus have slipped back into old habits and are now stuck in a rut of drawing too many football matches. They should throw caution to the wind on Wednesday, which could mean starts for Kenan Yildiz, Dusan Vlahovic, Jonathan David and Francisco Conceicao.
Predicted lineup: Di Gregorio (GK), Gatti, Rugani, Kelly, Kalulu, Locatelli, Cambiaso, Conceicao, Yildiz, Vlahovic, David
Last five results
- Ajax 0-2 AZ Alkmaar
- Sparta Rotterdam 3-3 Ajax
- Marseille 4-0 Ajax
- Ajax 2-1 NAC Breda
- PSV 2-2 Ajax
Player to watch: Kylian Mbappe
Kylian Mbappe is enjoying a superb start to the season, keeping pace with the likes of Erling Haaland and Harry Kane in terms of pure goalscoring. Given his natural qualities as a footballer, if he can keep scoring goals at his current rate, then the Ballon d'Or could be his to lose in 2026.
