Follow all of Tuesday night's Champions League action LIVE with Standard Sport.
It’s a battle between England and Germany as Chelsea are reunited with former manager Roberto Di Matteo at Schalke and Manchester City host Bayern Munich at the Etihad.
Jose Mourinho’s side are looking to secure their passage to the knockout phases of the competition and know that victory will guarantee them the top spot in Group E, while a draw could also be enough in the unlikely event that Sporting Lisbon fail to beat NK Maribor in Portugal.

City face a far more complex task knowing that only a victory against Pep Guardiola’s German champions is likely to be enough to keep their Champions League hopes alive.
They’ll have to do it without Yaya Toure and Fernandinho who were both sent off during their disastrous defeat to CSKA Moscow earlier this month.
