LIVE UPDATES: UEFA Champions League

Madrid will be looking for a favourable scoreline against Ajax Madrid will be looking for a favourable scoreline against Ajax

Its Champions League week and we come your way again with another set of interesting matches.

Real Madrid make a tricky trip to Ajax while Tottenham who are without Harry Kane welcome free-scoring Dortmund to the Wembley Stadium.

Real have won the last three editions of the UEFA Champions League despite their difficult start to life without Zidane and Cristiano Ronaldo, they still remain one of the favourites for title.

A derby win against Atletico has brought some confidence to Solari’s team but in Ajax they face an opposition that is yet to taste a defeat in the competition this season and have been boosted with the injury return of Barcelona bound Frankie dee Jong.

Solari is expected to name a starting team similar to the one that defeated Atletico Madrid on Saturday. Ajax might make one change to their team due to concerns over the fitness of Nicolas Tagliafico.

Two of Europe’s most exciting teams square it off at the Wembley Stadium with the return of Jadon Sancho to England dominating the press all week.

Tottenham Hotspur have been hit with another injury with defender Danny Rose set to watch the game from the bench. Dortmund will also be without the services of skipper Marco Reus, Lukasz Piszczek, Jlian Weigl, and Paco Alcacer.

Both team have a reputation of scoring loads of goals so that should a goal-fest.

Both games are scheduled to start at 8:00pm
