LASK host Slovan Bratislava, who are bottom of the 36 with no points, as are Porto and Lille; no players are ruled out on either side. ## What the round decides The league phase is one table of 36 clubs, each playing eight different opponents. The top eight go straight to the last 16, places nine to 24 go to a play-off round in February, and the bottom 12 are out. After Tuesday and Wednesday, every club will have played half its games. The clubs on nine points (PSG, Villa, Liverpool, Real Madrid and Betis) can move within one win of the direct route; the dozen clubs on three points, which includes Inter, United, Napoli and Galatasaray, are separated from the elimination zone by a single result either way. Wednesday's games include Porto v Napoli, Fenerbahçe v Liverpool at 18:45 CET, Slavia Prague v Arsenal, RB Leipzig v Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund v Real Betis, all at 21:00 CET except where stated. UEFA lists Liverpool without Bradley, Ekitiké, Frimpong and Leoni, and Napoli with seven players out and Kevin De Bruyne among three doubts.
