CHRIS SUTTON'S GUIDE TO THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE GAMES: Tottenham should beat Marseille

The opening round of the Champions League will continue on Wednesday night, with several British teams in action once again.

After Chelsea, Manchester City and Celtic all played on Tuesday, Tottenham will host Marseille, Liverpool will travel to Napoli and Rangers will take on Ajax on day two of Europe's most prestigious competition.

Sportsmail's Chris Sutton reveals how he thinks all three games will pan out.

Tottenham vs Marseille

Are you Arsenal in disguise?

Marseille’s dressing room contains a real Gunners allegiance. There’s Matteo Guendouzi, Sead Kolasinac and Nuno Tavares, along with other former Premier League players Dimitri Payet and nd Eric Bailly.

Tottenham are in for a game tmorrow but there’s something brewing under Antonio Conte.

He has the same dilemma as every other coach — he needs to look at how he rotates his team across three games a week — but his new Brazilian livewire helps him with that predicament.

Just remember, Richarlison: if you score tomorrow, be sure that the goal is good before you whip off your shirt like against Fulham!

Score prediction: 2-1 to Tottenham

Napoli vs Liverpool

Napoli are a stubborn side who are second in Serie A and unbeaten this season, albeit only five games into the campaign. Still, that’s better than how Liverpool have started 2022-23.

Jurgen Klopp’s side are in a rut domestically and it will be interesting to see what forward line he selects in Europe tomorrow.

Mohamed Salah’s goals have dried up. Should he be rested for Napoli and, say, Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota get their chance as an attacking three?

What midfield does he use after Fabio Carvalho, Fabinho and Harvey Elliott had little joy against Everton?

It’s a tricky game for Liverpool, this, and I’m saying an in-form Napoli will pose them problems.

Score prediction: 1-1

Ajax vs Rangers

Have Ajax got any players left? It felt like all I heard over the summer was how their top talents were being targeted.

They may have lost Lisandro Martinez and Antony to Manchester United — and their manager Erik ten Hag — but this remains a club with a super track record in Europe.

Last season they won all six group games in the Champions League and they start this campaign against a Rangers side still shaking from that 4-0 loss to Celtic on Saturday.

I fear for Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s team defensively. Calvin Bassey was influential in the Rangers back line last season but he’s now an Ajax player.

Score prediction: 2-1 to Ajax
