It’s everything to play for in Group D, with just two points separating top-place Tottenham and Marseille at the bottom. Those two teams face each other in France on Tuesday.

Only 10 teams have finished a single Champions League group stage with six wins from six matches. There could be two more this week. Bayern could achieve the feat for the third time with a victory on Tuesday in Group C over Inter Milan, which is already guaranteed to finish in second place so may choose to rest some players.
Napoli is looking to become the first Italian team since AC Milan in 1992 to have six straight wins in its group, but has to win at Anfield to do so. Rangers and Viktoria Plzen have zero points ahead of group closers at home to Ajax and Barcelona.
