October 30, 2011 · 0 Comments
Champions League football makes a return this week as the group stage continues on Tuesday 1 and Wednesday 2 November.
Sky Sports will show comprehensive live coverage of matches including 3 domestic sides, Arsenal, Chelsea & Manchester United. ITV1′s pick on Wednesday night sees Manchester City visit Villarreal. Sky Sports will screen all remaining fixtures live via the red button.
Arsenal v Marseille
Date: Tues 1 Nov | Venue: Emirates Stadium | Kick-off: 7.45pm | Coverage : Sky Sports HD2
Arsenal FC will be looking to improve on their recent home record against Ligue 1 visitors when they play host to Olympique de Marseille, although their matchday three victory in France has put the Gunners in a strong position in Group F.
The Stade Vélodrome fixture on 19 October was the first time the sides had met, Arsenal coming out on top thanks to Aaron Ramsey’s last-gasp winner.
Genk v Chelsea
Date: Tues 1 Nov | Venue: KRC Genk Arena | Kick-off: 7.45pm | Coverage : Sky Sports HD4
KRC Genk failed to win a game during their only previous UEFA Champions League participation in 2002/03 and if they are to get off the mark on matchday four they have to bounce back from their heavy 5-0 defeat at Chelsea FC last time out. The 5-0 scoreline was Chelsea’s biggest ever UEFA Champions League victory.
Manchester Utd v Otelul Galati
Date: Wed 2 Nov| Venue: Old Trafford | Kick-off: 7.45pm | Coverage : Sky Sports HD2
Manchester United FC will look to continue their climb up the Group C table by claiming a second victory against FC Otelul Galati.
United got their first win of this campaign by beating the tournament newcomers 2-0 in Bucharest on matchday three, Wayne Rooney scoring both goals from the penalty spot. It was a result that lifted the Red Devils into second place and left Otelul rooted to the foot of the table and still seeking their first UEFA Champions League point.
Villarreal v Manchester City
Date: Wed 2 Nov | Venue: Estadio El Madrigal | Kick-off: 7.45pm | Coverage : ITV1 HD
After earning their first UEFA Champions League win against Villarreal CF on matchday three, Manchester City FC will now look for a first success on Spanish soil when the sides reconvene at El Madrigal. Adrian Chiles presents live from Spain, with analysis from Gareth Southgate and commentary by Peter Drury and Jim Beglin.
