Starting with the hosts, heading into November's fortnight interval with a downbeat 3-1 loss away at Hoffenheim, RB Leipzig will know the importance of claiming an immediate response here. Nevertheless, marking their return this weekend sat in silver medal position, Ole Werner's men have their sights firmly set on booking a lucrative Champions League return this season. Getting November underway with a dominant 3-1 win at home against Stuttgart, the Red Bulls have won each of their other four appearances across all competitions.

Last seen at the Allianz Riviera signing off October with a stellar 2-0 victory against Lille, Franck Haise's side should take some solace from their overall success in front of their own supporters. Including a pulsating 3-2 win against Lyon last month, Thursday's hosts have lost just one of their previous six showdowns on home soil across all competitions. Likewise, winning back-to-back appearances at the Allianz Riviera by an aggregate score of 5-2, Nice should be smelling a potential opportunity in midweek.

Crystal Palace play AEK Larnaca tonight. Follow all the action with our live commentary... Crystal Palace take on AEK Larnaca tonight hoping to make it two wins from two in the Conference League. Oliver Glasner's side ground out a 3-3 draw with Bournemouth at the weekend, Jean-Philippe Mateta scoring a hat-trick and they will take on the Cypriots in confident mood. AEK are fifth in their domestic league but won their opening European game, a surprisingly easy 4-0 thrashing of AZ Alkmaar.

To take to the field tomorrow evening at San Siro we will need to be sportingly happy but also very proud to play against the top of the class. We know how strong Milan are and we will need to be very humble in defence, but also confident when we have possession of the ball. We know who we are playing against, but in football nothing is impossible. I need everyone. Whoever makes themselves available and whoever is fit will be part of my decisions.

Starting with the hosts, while Eintracht Frankfurt might have signed off September with a remarkable 6-4 victory away at Borussia Monchengladbach, it appears that might have been just a minor boost for the Eagles. Suffering late heartbreak against Freiburg over the weekend as they marked their return from October's international break with a 2-2 stalemate on the road, Dino Toppmoller's camp have drastically failed to find any kind of stability since opening up the new campaign.

Spain have reacted impressively since their penalty shootout loss to Portugal in June's UEFA Nations League final. Luis de la Fuente's side opened their World Cup qualifying journey with a commanding 3-0 win over Bulgaria away from home, followed by a 6-0 thrashing of Turkey in their second September fixture. That momentum continued on Saturday, when they defeated Georgia 2-0 at the Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero in Elche.

Signing off September with a dominant 3-0 romp away at St. Louis, the California-based outfit have won all of their previous five consecutive MLS appearances by an aggregate score of 16-4. Landing consecutive 4-1 wins against Real Salt Lake last month, Los Angeles have also gained a fearsome reputation for their free-scoring performances in the final third. Notching 61 MLS goals so far this season, LAFC hold the second-best attacking tally in the Western Conference.
