Arsenal have lost on their last three trips to Ukraine, and have also failed to win their last three away games in Russia: the former Soviet Union is to Arsenal in Europe what the North West is to them domestically. Despite this, the bookies still make the Gunners favourites and chickendinner believe they will triumph tonight. Here’s why…
1. Arsenal have lost just two of their last 24 Champions League group matches.
2. The Gunners have won their opening group game in each of the last four seasons.
3. And in three of the last four seasons they have been victorious in their opening away game.
4. Arsene Wenger’s

This time last year everyone was either really worried or really amused by Manchester United’s complete lack of form, but now there are lots of knowing smiles and people saying: “Chill out, everything is going to turn out fine. Just like last year!”
But what if it doesn’t? The folks at chickendinner believe this is the question United fans will have to ask themselves after they draw with Villarreal…
1. When the two sides met in the Champions League group stage three seasons ago both games finished as goalless draws.
2. Manchester United have won just one of their five matches so far this season, drawing two, and are yet to lose at home.
3. And the Red Devils went unbeaten

Marseille coach Eric Gerets has been getting himself all worked up with worry about the prospect of English clubs dominating the Champions League yet again. The chaps at chickendinner believe he should untwist his knickers, however, as tonight his side should take points off English opposition this season.
Here’s why:
1. Liverpool have failed to win their opening European away game - excluding qualifiers - in six of the last seven seasons.
2. They have already struggled away in Europe this season, drawing 0-0 with Standard Liege.
3. The Reds have scored just one goal in their three away games so far this season.
4. Rafael Benitez’s
