Newcastle take on Dortmund in Germany, having narrowly lost the reverse fixture a fortnight ago. Kick-off is at 17:45 GMT.

The two sides go into the contest in different spirits, with the Magpies claiming a statement victory over Arsenal at St James' Park on Saturday while Dortmund will have to pick themselves up after a heavy defeat to Bayern Munich.

Meanwhile, a fourth straight Champions League win for Man City would take them into the knockout rounds. Kick-off is at 20:00 GMT.

Erik ten Hag and Mikel Arteta will also face the media ahead of their sides' respective Champions League matches on Wednesday against Copenhagen and Sevilla.

Wednesday

Manchester United visit Copenhagen in the Champions League - a match that will be viewed as a must-win for Ten Hag's side as they target qualification for the next round.

Arsenal host Sevilla with a chance to extend their lead at the top of Group B. The Gunners will hope to replicate their 2-1 win in Spain two weeks ago.

Both matches kick off at 20:00 GMT.

Further press conferences will take place too as Jurgen Klopp, Roberto De Zerbi, David Moyes and Unai Emery preview their respective UEFA Europa League and UEFA Europa Conference League matches.

West Ham United host Olympiacos at the London Stadium. After a tough loss away in Greece, the Hammers have a chance to set things right in Group A. Kick-off is at 20:00 GMT.

The majority of Premier League managers will hold their press conferences, providing the latest team news.
