PSG welcome Ousmane Dembele back into the attack. The Ballon d'Or winner started on the bench for the win over Nice last weekend, but replaces Senny Mayulu in the front three. Marquinhos and Fabian Ruiz are also back in the side, coming in Illia Zabarnyi and Joao Neves. PSG: Chevalier, Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes, Vitinha, Zaire-Emery, Ruiz, Kvaratskhelia, Dembele, Barcola. Subs: Beraldo, Hernandez, Lee, Marin, Mayulu, Mbaye, Ndjantou, Neves, Ramos, Safonov.

Chelsea head to the Tofiq Bahramov Republican Stadium on Wednesday looking to extend their winning run in the Champions League to three games. Enzo Maresca's side have recovered well since their opening loss away to Bayern Munich, responding with back-to-back home victories over Benfica and Ajax. Another win in Baku would further push their qualification hopes, particularly against opponents who have struggled historically against English opposition.

Starting with the hosts, managing to make a much-welcomed return to winning ways over the weekend as they clinched a 1-0 victory away at Auxerre, Marseille are now hoping to find some crucial stability. Last seen in Champions League action falling to a disappointing 2-1 loss away at Portuguese heavyweights Sporting Lisbon, Roberto De Zerbi's men will be excited to make a return to home soil here.

Sunderland's return to the Premier League has been nothing short of remarkable. Régis Le Bris's men have collected 17 points from their first nine matches-more than any newly-promoted side at this stage in 17 years-and currently sit in the top six. Their resilience was on full display last weekend when they stunned Chelsea 2-1 at Stamford Bridge, overturning an early deficit with goals from Wilson Isidor and Chemsdine Talbi.

Starting with the hosts, last seen marking their return from October's international break with a 2-1 victory against Ligue 1 debutants Paris FC, Lens have enjoyed a sensational start to proceedings. Getting this weekend's fixtures underway sat in the European spots, Pierre Sage's men find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. Heading into October's fortnight interval with another 2-1 win away at Auxerre, the Yellows have registered 10 points from their previous four top-flight appearances.

After defeating Venezuela in Miami on Friday, Argentina will aim to secure another victory on U.S. soil when they face Puerto Rico in a friendly on Tuesday. The fixture has been postponed by a day from its original date and moved from Chicago's Soldier Field to Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale. Puerto Rico have not played since June, when they wrapped up their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign with a 2-1 win over Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.

Last seen mounting a stellar comeback on their travels as they clinched a 2-1 victory away at Goias, the Alagoas-based outfit have rightfully received a string of plaudits this year. Despite only just clinging to their Serie B status last season, CRB open Tuesday's showdown knowing that they can move within touching distance of the promotion spots. Getting October underway with a 1-0 win at home against CRB, Barroca's camp have won three of their previous four Serie B appearances

The team news is in for this fixture. United are without Leah Galton and Celine Bizet who are injured. Man Utd: Tullis-Joyce; Riviere, Janssen, Le Tissier, Sandberg; Toone, Miyazawa, Zigiotti Olme; Park; Terland, Malard. Subs: Rendell, George, Blundell, Rolfo, Awujo, Naalsund, Williams. Valerenga: Enblom; Horte, Kovacs, Eiriksdottir; Tennebo, Vickius, Inauen, Heidarsdottir; Hegg, Saevik, Tvedten. Subs: Grinde-Hansen, Erichsen, Pettersen, Lindwall, Thorsnes, Sesay, Aronsson, Enger, S. Hansen, Bergman-Lundin, Brekken

Starting with the hosts, putting four points on the board from their opening two World Cup qualifying appearances, Scotland have enjoyed a rugged start to proceedings. Claiming a maiden Group C victory last time out as they secured a 2-0 victory away at Belarus, Steve Clarke's camp will be desperate to make a major statement of intent here. Getting their qualifying adventure underway with a 0-0 stalemate away at Denmark on September 5th, the Tartan Army will also be excited by their recent defensive steel.

Although Brian Barry-Murphy might have seen his promotion contenders sign off September with a shock 1-0 loss at home against Burton, the Bluebirds came roaring back in a remarkable fashion over the weekend. Eventually clinching a pulsating 4-3 victory against Leyton Orient, the former Rochdale boss has seen his squad win three of their previous four appearances across all competitions.

Crystal Palace will be hoping to extend their unbeaten run to 19 games in all competitions when they visit Lublin to take on Dynamo Kyiv. It is Palace's first European game proper after coming through qualifying to reach the league phase of the Conference League. And they arrived in Poland as one of the in-form teams in England after beating defending champions Liverpool on Saturday, courtesy of Eddie Nketiah's last-gasp goal.

Starting with the hosts, while Juventus might have come flying out of the traps when opening up the new campaign, Juventus have failed to find a similar level over the past fortnight. Suffering last-gasp Champions League frustration earlier in the week as they eventually had to settle for a pulsating 2-2 stalemate away at Spanish outfit Villarreal, the Old Lady have now only collected a single point from any of their previous four appearances across all competitions.

Starting with the hosts, extending on their Coppa Italia adventure earlier in the week as they cruised their way to a routine 3-1 victory at home against Empoli, Genoa will be desperate to use that performance as a platform to build on. However, spending large spells of last season looking over their shoulder at a looming relegation scrap, Patrick Vieira's men have once again failed to find any kind of fluidity since opening up the 2025/26 campaign. Last seen falling to a 2-1 defeat away at Bologna, the former Crystal Palace boss has not seen his squad muster a single win from their first four Serie A appearances (two defeats, two draws).

Starting with the hosts, with many around the Mestalla left disappointed last season as Valencia were forced to settle for another bottom-half finish among Spain's elite, Carlos Corberan's men know the importance of finding some crucial stability this time around. Suffering last-gasp heartbreak away at Espanyol earlier in the week as they eventually had to settle for a 2-2 stalemate in Catalonia, the former West Brom boss has seen his squad win just a pair of their first six La Liga appearances.
