8 Champions league games this evening

Arsenal and Liverpool are the two Premier League teams in action in the Champions League this evening.

After their flat 2-0 defeat to Borussia Dortmund in their opening game, Arsenal will be seeking to get their European campaign up and running at the Emirates this evening. The visit of their Turkish opponents coincides with Arsene Wenger's 18th anniversary as manager of the club.

Meanwhile Liverpool needed a late winner from Steven Gerrard to beat Ludogorets last time out. Basel will offer a sterner test, meaning a better performance is needed if Brendan Rodgers' are to pick up more points prior to back-to-back games against Real Madrid.
