Date: Tue, 23-Oct-18
Probable Lineups
Real Madrid focus
Julen Lopetegui is on the verge of being sacked as Real Madrid head coach after losing for the third game in a row this weekend.
Karim Benzema, Gareth Bale and Toni Kroos were on the bench against Levante on Saturday and will start here.
Isco was particularly disappointing at the weekend and could lose his place in the starting XI as a result.
With Daniel Carvajal out until mid-November, Nacho or Álvaro Odriozola will start at right-back against Viktoria Plzen on Tuesday.
Viktoria Plzen focus
Jan Kopic is the only reported injury concern for Viktoria Plzen when they travel to Spain to face reigning champions Real Madrid on Tuesday.
Radim Reznik and Lukas Hejda were both injured during the international break but were fit enough to feature for Viktoria Plzen on Friday.
Prediction
Real Madrid 3-0 Viktoria Plzen
Manchester United vs Juventus
Kick off: 20:00 (CET)
Date: Tue, 23-Oct-18
Probable Lineups
Manchester United focus
Jose Mourinho would have taken huge positives from Manchester United's 2-2 draw away to Chelsea on Saturday despite conceding a dramatic late equaliser.
Alexis Sanchez has been ruled out by Jose Mourinho, while Phil Jones, Diogo Dalot, Scott McTominay, Marouane Fellaini and Jesse Lingard were all absent from training on Monday.
Antonio Valencia is expected to return to the starting XI against Juventus after missing Saturday's Premier League clash.
Juventus focus
Cristiano Ronaldo is available for Juventus after missing their last Champions League match through suspension. The former Manchester United forward will start on his return to Old Trafford.
Paulo Dybala overcame a minor injury sustained during the international break to feature in the latter stages of Juventus' 1-1 draw with Genoa on Saturday.
Mario Mandzukic picked up an injury in training and is not part of Juventus' travelling squad, meaning Ronaldo will most likely play centrally on Tuesday.
Prediction
Manchester United 1-2 Juventus
Shakhtar Donetsk vs Manchester City
Kick off: 20:00 (CET)
Date: Tue, 23-Oct-18
Probable Lineups
Shakhtar Donetsk focus
Taison is Shakhtar Donetsk's only injury concern ahead of the welcome of Manchester City.
Alan Patrick, then, should move into the number 10 role with Maycon, who scored the winning goal against Desna last time out, starting alongside Taras Stepanenko.
Davit Khotcholava may also get the nod at centre-back in place of Sergey Krivtsov.
Manchester City focus
Kyle Walker missed the 5-0 win over Burnley, but should return to the starting XI at right-back.
Kevin De Bruyne made his long-awaited return from injury in the victory, but Pep Guardiola may opt to manage his recovery accordingly and have him start on the bench once more.
Danilo, Ilkay Gundogan and Claudio Bravo are Guardiola's only injury issues here.
Prediction
Shakhtar Donetsk 1-2 Manchester City
