Pep Guardiola’s side return to European action on Tuesday night currently sat fourth in the Champions League league phase table with just two matches left to play, looking to secure the all important top eight finish which will see them advance straight into the last 16.

Bodo/Glimt head into Tuesday’s bout unbeaten in four of their last five but haven’t played a competitive game match since early December due to their season being played through the summer. The Norwegian side are yet to win a match in their debut Champions League campaign, and defeat on Tuesday will confirm their European exit.

Inter Milan v Arsenal (Tue, 8pm)

Arsenal are the only team left in this season’s Champions League still with a 100% record and boast a three point lead at the top of the league phase table, needing just one point from their last two matches to secure the all important top eight finish.

Tuesday night sees the Premier League leaders take on the Serie A leaders and last season’s Champions League runners up, Inter Milan, themselves locked in a battle to secure a direct Round of 16 place, sat sixth in the standings but level on points with ninth placed Liverpool.

Arsenal were held to a disappointing goalless draw at the City Ground on Saturday so will be eager to get back to winning ways while also adding to their 11-match unbeaten run, while Inter, who beat Arsenal at the San Siro last season, have won five of their last six matches.

  • Inter: 9/5 Draw: 12/5 Arsenal: 6/4

  • To Win to Nil: Inter 4/1 / Arsenal 10/3

Tottenham v Borussia Dortmund (Tue, 8pm)

Tottenham head into Tuesday night’s clash with just one win in their last eight matches, without a win in five and off the back of three defeats on the spin following their last gasp defeat at home against West Ham on Saturday.

Thomas Frank is very much under pressure for his job in north London, but despite their domestic struggles the reigning Europa League champions have fared well in Europe this season, currently just one point behind the top eight.

Tuesday night sees them take on Borussia Dortmund, the two teams separated only by goals scored in the league phase table, though the German side have won three of their last four matches, though are winless from four of their last five games on the road.

  • Tottenham Hotspur: 13/8 Draw: 27/10 Borussia Dortmund: 6/4
  • To Win from Behind: Tottenham 9/1 / Borussia Dortmund 9/1
  • To Win to Nil: Tottenham Hotspur 4/1 / Borussia Dortmund 7/2

Chelsea v Pafos (Wed, 8pm)

Liam Rosenior will be looking to make it three wins in his first four games on Wednesday night as his Chelsea side take on Cypriot side Pafos in his Champions League managerial debut.

The reigning Conference League champions have had a cautious start to their Champions League campaign this time around but find themselves only two points off eighth placed Atletico Madrid in their bid for an automatic spot in the last 16.

Wednesday sees the Blues take on Pafos for the first time in their history, the Cypriot side currently sit 26th on debut in the Champions League, just a point behind a top 24 spot which would see them reach the knockout phase play-offs.

  • Chelsea: 1/7 Draw: 15/2 Pafos FC: 16/1
  • To Win from Behind: Chelsea 11/2 / Pafos FC 40/1 
  • To Win to Nil: Chelsea 5/6 / Pafos FC 25/1 
  • To Win Either Half: Chelsea 1/12 / Pafos FC 5/1 
  • To Win Both Halves: Chelsea 1/1 / Pafos FC 66/1
  • To Score in Both Halves: Chelsea 4/7 / Pafos FC 10/1

Marseille v Liverpool (Wed, 8pm)

Liverpool head to the south of France unbeaten in their last 12 matches but with only one win in their last five as they head into their crunch clash against Marseille, currently with only goal difference separating them from the top eight in the Champions League.

Marseille are enjoying a strong season themselves, sat third in Ligue 1 and and have scored 14 goals in their last two matches and still have an outside chance at a top eight finish in the Champions League, currently 16th and just three points behind their opponents with two matches to play.

The two sides haven’t met for 18 years but the Reds have won each of their last three matches against Marseille, though the French side’s boss, Roberto de Zerbi, has won more games against Liverpool than he’s lost during his time at Brighton.

  • Marseille: 11/4 Draw: 14/5 Liverpool: 10/11
  • To Win from Behind: Marseille 12/1 / Liverpool 7/1 
  • To Win to Nil: Marseille 7/1 / Liverpool 11/4 
  • To Win Either Half: Marseille 6/5 / Liverpool 1/2 
  • To Win Both Halves: Marseille 12/1 / Liverpool 9/2
  • To Score in Both Halves: Marseille 3/1 / Liverpool 13/8

Newcastle v PSV (Wed, 8pm)

Newcastle will be looking to get back to winning ways on Wednesday after being held to a demoralising goalless draw against bottom of the table Wolves on Sunday.

In the Champions League, Eddie Howe’s side sit just above Chelsea in 12th place in the table, just two points off a top eight finish, and will be eager to secure victory over their Dutch opponents on this week with a trip to the champions to take on PSG coming in their final league phase fixture.

PSV make the trip to Tyneside in the midst of an outstanding season which has seen them build a 16 point lead at the top of the Eredivisie, Peter Bosz’s side picking up 52 points from a possible 57, and have won their last six games in all competitions, though have won just two of their six Champions League league phase games so far.

  • Newcastle United: 4/9 Draw: 17/4 PSV Eindhoven: 5/1
  • To Win from Behind: Newcastle United 9/2 / PSV Eindhoven 16/1 
  • To Win to Nil: Newcastle United 9/4 / PSV Eindhoven 14/1
  • To Win Either Half: Newcastle United 2/9 / PSV Eindhoven 2/1 
  • To Win Both Halves: Newcastle United 12/5 / PSV Eindhoven 22/1 To Score in Both Halves: Newcastle United 5/6 / PSV Eindhoven 7/2
