UEFA Champions League

Inter Milan vs Barcelona

Date: September 16th Time: 18:45 (GMT)

Inter Milan take on Spanish giants and Champions League holders Barcelona at the San Siro in what is surely the tie of the round. The Group F clash will see a battle of wits between the "Special One" Jose Mourinho and Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola.

Mourinho's side have had a relative successful start to the season, notching up 2 wins and a draw in their opening 3 Serie A matches. He is likely to be in confident mood following his team's destruction of AC Milan, and the most recent 2-0 victory over Parma on Sunday.

Barcelona meanwhile, travel to Italy looking to assert themselves as the team to beat as they begin their defense of the Champions League trophy. The Spanish and European Champions have themselves started the season showing that they mean business, following 2 wins out of 2 in La Liga, and a comfortable victory over Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk in the European Super Cup.

The game will be of particular interest against the backdrop of a mini-match-up: Samuel Eto'o vs Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The two prolific strikers swapped clubs over the summer, and both have made impressive starts at their new homes respectively.

It seems that the Footbo community is relatively split on who will win this game, and it is not hard to understand why. Both teams will be looking for the win, and both teams have equally as good a chance at achieving that objective.

Standard Liege vs Arsenal

Date: September 16th Time: 18:45 (GMT)

Touchline duel Laszlo Boloni v Arsène Wenger

Boloni enjoyed considerable success as a player, winning 104 caps for Romania and collecting every major honour for Steaua Bucharest, including the 1986 European Cup. Like Wenger, some of his formative years in coaching were spent at Nancy and he has since managed Romania, Rennes, Monaco, and Sporting Lisborn, where he won a domestic treble and gave Cristiano Ronaldo his competitive debut.

Key Clash Milan Jovanovic v Thomas Vermaelen

Jovanovic, a Serbia international, has already scored five goals in Standard's six-game unbeaten start to the league season and will clearly pose the greatest threat. Belgium international Thomas Vermaelen has warned his new teammates that Standard's main strength is going forward and, after conceding six goals in their last two games, Arsenal are again looking vulnerable at the back.

Talking tactics

Having begun this campaign with the 4-2-3-1 formation that was used consistently in the second-half of last season, the return of Tomas Rosicky coupled with the unavailability of Theo Walcott and Andrei Arshavin may tempt Arsene Wenger into reverting to a 4-4-2 line-up. Rosicky, who scored against Manchester City on Saturday, is a genuine winger and provides Wenger's fluid system with further flexibility.
