The Champions League gets underway on Tuesday with holders Liverpool facing a tough looking trip to Italy to begin their defence.
Jurgen Klopp takes his side to foot of Mount Vesuvius to face Napoli – one of the most daunting European trips any side can make.
Elsewhere in Group E, Red Bull Salzburg face Genk in Germany.
In Group H – Chelsea under Frank Lampard look to continue their good run of form as they host Valencia at Stamford Bridge, whilst the other game in the group sees last season’s surprise package Ajax welcome Lille to Amsterdam.
Group F is by far the toughest quartet, with Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund and Inter Milan all lining up against each other.
Barca travel to Dortmund for their opener whilst Inter host the other side in the group – Slavia Prague.
Benfica open their Group G account at home to Leipzig, whilst Lyon face Zenit in the other clash.
We run through every game including predictions from former England, Crystal Palace and Tottenham midfielder Andy Gray, our own Football Insider Graeme Bailey and BoyleSports’ Lawrence Lyons.
