Manchester United and Chelsea can both seal their places in the last 16 of the Champions League on Tuesday evening.

United have maximum points in Group A with three wins thus far, and they entertain pointless Benfica on Tuesday knowing if they win and CSKA Moscow fail to beat Basel – then they are into the knockout phase.

“Our aim is to qualify, ten points would be okay, but our main aim is to qualify first in the group. Benfica will give us a difficult match,” said Mourinho.

“They have their own ambition and pride and they will try to win, we just want to get to the last 16 by finishing first in the group.”

Chelsea task is a little simpler than United, as they know three points in the Italian capital against Roma will also seal their place in the next phase – no mater what other results are.

Antonio Conte’s side are unbeaten and he wants to make sure of qualification in his homeland although he is anticipating a tough clash at the Stadio Olimpico.

“We know that this game will be tough. In the first game that we played at home, I think, at the end, it was a good result,” he said.

“But for sure, I’d like to play better and we will try to do this in the game against Roma.

In Group B and Celtic could see their top-two hopes disappear with defeat to Bayern Munich.

Brendan Rodgers’s side are just three points off the Greman giants, but if they lose and Paris Saint Germain beat Anderlecht – then they would be out.

But Rodgers believes his side are capable of claiming another famous Parkhead scalp and said: “We want to get a result and we have to show we have the qualities to do that. We always think we have a great chance at home.”

Elsewhere, in Group D – Barcelona and Juventus will seal their places in the last 16 if they win at Olympiakos and Sporting Lisbon, respectively.
