Galatasaray vs Ajax

So a red card for Sloot sees Pierie start at centre half, and an injury to keeper Onana sees loan keeper Vlachodimos get a start. Scherpen and D’Brempt replace them on the bench. Otherwise it’s an unchanged line up from the side that drew with Benfica.

Valencia - Bayern Munich

We're going to give the same group of players an opportunity to redeem themselves with some changes of positions in defence and Bailly dropping out for Lovren to see if we can have some more steel at the back. We are also going to change tactics as wingers was a mistake in game 1. If we don't want to finish bottom of the group then we need to get a result here but it is always tough against Elite division teams. We need to see a reaction from Tuesday night else this could be a nightmare going in to the season start with an awful pre-season.

RB Salzburg v Barcelona

Stephenj has announced a few changes to the Barcelona side after back to back wins in pre-season so far. Rui Bentio will play in goal as Oblak is rested and a debut is expected for Coufal. Blind and Van de Beek are included in the match day squad after their recent transfer into Blaugrana. Icardi, with 2 goals in 2 games, is expected to start on the bench, with the impressive goal-scoring substitute Werner likely to start for the first time.

WOLFSBURG v Liverpool

Another chance against arguably the best team in the Elite. They knocked us out of both cups last season but we did give them a game both times. A friendly is a 'free hit' really and we'll got with a formation that we think will work against the way they setup.

Shakhtar v AC MILAN

Another tough test. They are probably one the teams that stand out in the 3rd tier and should do very well this season.

 VfL Wolfsburg       -       Liverpool

Ironically this is the exact repeat of last season -2nd game of the Subbuteo Cup, away at Wolfsberg - we won 2-1 on that day and expect the same result today !

We played them 4 times in the cup last season, and were unbeaten ..

5 changes to the side after a lacklustre game last night .. we return to our more traditional 433 - with Neymar and De Ligt both unavailable ..

 Chelsea    -       FC Zorya Luhansk

Games against Macca are always tough .. this is Zorya's 1st time facing Chelsea ..

It will be a good test of how far we have come as a team .. so no rotation ..

Just the one enforced change with "Jed" replacing Sane ...

How  many goals will Mo score tonight???
