1948: Better start from Marseille at Chelsea, sweeping the ball from flank to flank with effortless ease. One ball into the box is half-cleared by John Terry into the path of Lucho Gonzalez, but he fires wide via the leg of his team-mate Loic Remy.

From el chelsea fuerte on 606: "I have a funny feeling about the Marseille match..."

1945: And they've kicked off in Partizan-Arsenal as well now.

1945: Nicolas Anelka is getting booed by the Marseille fans and we're under way at Stamford Bridge.

1943: It's clearly not the same as the national anthems during a World Cup, but the Champions League music gets me going every time. We're on the brink of getting under way in the seven games around Europe this evening.

1941: Now then, we haven't even started yet tonight and it is quite literally all going off. In Belgrade, one of the Partizan floodlights has cut out for the fourth time in the last hour or so. But as it stands, the game will go ahead anyway. At Chelsea, there is fighting in the stands, though the police say they have things under control. The teams are out, almost incidentally.

1939: When asked about whether he was demanding a win following defeats by Newcastle and Manchester City, Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti said: "Yes, I am wanting a good result and wanting to maintain top spot in the group."

From OptaJoe on Twitter: "After failing to win in 22 Champions League games in a row, Spartak Moscow have won their last three in the competition. Revival."

From Dave, Cardiff, via text: "To Luke from London. Not only did Khalid Askri substitute himself, he retired as a result of that blunder!"

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger: "We want to come back from Saturday with a strong performance. We have to combine motivation and authority. We have to use all our experience and technique. They have a big physical team with powerful players so I believe they will try to make it physical, drop deep with two banks of four and catch us on the break."

1934: Partizan-Arsenal will kick off as normal, so can everyone just calm down? Hey, refresh your page and you will see the magical Midweek Final Score appear at the top of your page. In other news, Football League Macca is poring over our lower league line-ups as we speak, ready to hit you with chat as soon as the goals start flying in.

From Steve on 606: "I've seen teams deliberately leave the grass long to try and stop Arsenal playing their football but this is going to the next level - let's make them play in the dark with a dodgy keeper."

1927: Here's an early stat to get stuck into thanks to Infostrada Sports: "Arsenal line-up with two English players in their starting XI. The Gunners have lost their last three Champions League matches in which they started with more than one player from England."

Partizan Belgrade v Arsenal team news:
Phil Dawkes reports: "An injury to Mamuel Almunia gives Lukasz Fabianski a chance to stake a claim to be Arsenal's first-choice goalkeeper. The Gunners also make two changes in midfield with Denilson and Jack Wilshere replacing Abou Diaby and Samir Nasri. The recalled Kieran Gibbs and Johan Djourou will need to be on their toes to counter the threat of Partizan Belgrade's Brazilian dangerman Cleo."

Chelsea v Marseille team news:
Mark Ashenden reports: "Chelsea's 19-year-old striker Gael Kakuta wins the battle for a starting spot against Marseille to make his European debut and will support Nicolas Anelka up front with Florent Malouda. Left-back Ashley Cole returns after a rest, while fit-again Marseille defender Souleymane Diawara starts at Stamford Bridge."

From Restlesshair on Twitter: "Szczesny should be starting tonight. Too many times has Fabianski let us down, the younger Pole was brilliant at Brentford."

1919: Full-time Spartak Moscow 3-0 MSK Zilina

1917: Extraordinarily, we are hearing rumours - sketchy at the moment - that there might be a power failure in Belgrade which is threatening to delay the start of Partizan-Arsenal. Will obviously keep you abreast of the very latest from Serbia.

1915: GOAL Spartak Moscow 3-0 MSK Zilina (Ibson)

From tomotrebski on Twitter: "Great noise from the Marseille fans at Stamford Bridge! Sometimes foreign supporters put us to shame..."

Chelsea v Marseille:
Mark Ashenden reports: "No Frank Lampard, no Didier Drogba, so will Chelsea still have enough for the visit by Marseille? Two successive defeats by Newcastle and Manchester City should provide the inspiration for Carlo Ancelotti's boys but they're facing a French outfit still smarting after losing at home to Spartak Moscow in their opening Champions League clash. Chelsea hunting a second win on their Euro campaign this season. Game on."

Partizan Belgrade v Arsenal:
Phil Dawkes reports: "Arsenal were in imperious form for their opening Champions League fixture, which saw them beat Braga 6-0. However, their momentum has been halted somewhat by Saturday's surprise 3-2 home league loss to West Brom. Keeper Manuel Almunia had a torrid time against the Baggies, but injury takes him out of the firing line and shifts the focus to understudy Lukasz Fabianski. He is likely to be put to the test by a Partizan Belgrade side who currently top the Serbian top-flight."

From Luke, London, via text: "Almunia may be poor, but spare a thought for the Moroccan side FAR Rabat, who's goalkeeper Khalid Ashkri (he of penalty-save-that-bounces-into-net-fame) made another blunder this week and substituted himself."

1903: So, now the juices are flowing, all that leaves you to do is get in touch. It's easy when you know how: by tweeting me @Stevo_football; by texting to 81111 (UK) and +44 7786200666 (worldwide); and by dropping a missive on to the 606 page set up for that very reason.

Ajax 1-1 AC Milan
Auxerre 2-2 Real Madrid
Basle 0-2 Bayern Munich
Braga 1-1 Shakhtar Donetsk
Chelsea 2-2 Marseille
Partizan Belgrade 1-2 Arsenal

Arsenal team to face Partizan: Fabianski, Sagna, Djourou, Squillaci, Gibbs, Rosicky, Denilson, Song, Arshavin, Wilshere, Chamakh.

1855: One of those exceptions is in the Champions League, with Russian outfit Spartak Moscow taking on Slovakians MSK Zilina at the magnificent Luzhniki Stadium. I can tell you this: with about 20 minutes to go, it's Spartak 2-0 Zilina. The superbly named Ferreira Ari has bagged both goals.

1853: Plenty to chew over on another night of top-class football in what is turning into a genuinely fascinating season. In the Champions League we've got Partizan Belgrade v Arsenal and Chelsea v Marseille, not to mention six other intriguing ties, including Ajax v AC Milan. Oh, and there's also a full Football League programme too. 1945 BST is our stock kick-off time, barring the odd exception.

Chelsea team to face Marseille: Cech, Ivanovic, Terry, Alex, Cole, Essien, Mikel, Zhirkov, Kakuta, Anelka, Malouda.

1849: The great Brian Clough, there, on signing England goalkeeping legend Peter Shilton in 1977, with Nottingham Forest going on to win the League Championship and the European Cup twice with Shilton in goal. Question: Is Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger a world-class stopper away from turning the Gunners into a genuine trophy-winning force once more? Or do Arsenal's problems run deeper? A hot topic if ever there was one.

1845: "It was like buying a painting, like a Constable or a Turner. You know in a year or two's time it's going to be worth twice what it cost you. Peter Shilton was the deciding factor. I'd have paid almost any price. A team with an OK goalkeeper is always looking over its shoulder. At the back of its mind, it's thinking 'it doesn't matter what we do - the fella between the posts might make a mistake'. With Shilton in goal, it gave everyone else more confidence. It spread throughout the side. We were full of ourselves."
