Manchester United take on CKSA Moscow tonight in the second fixture of their Champions League campaign.

After a 3-0 win over Basel two weeks ago, Jose Mourinho’s men will be looking to bolster their chances of qualifying top of Group A with another victory tonight.

United will be without midfielders Marouane Fellaini, Michael Carrick and Paul Pogba for the showdown at the VEB Arena.

Follow all the action below:

What time does it start?

The game kicks off at 7.45pm on Wednesday 27 September at the VEB Arena.

Where can I watch it?

The match will be broadcast on BT Sport 3 – coverage starts at 7pm. Alternatively, follow updates from our live blog.

It’s a big game for?

Ander Herrera. The Spaniard has found himself sidelined during United’s strong start to the new term, despite impressing so much last season. With Mourinho suffering from something of a midfield crisis, Herrera can expect to find himself back in the line-up for tonight’s clash. If this is the case, he’ll have the chance to remind the United boss just what he’s missing.

Player to watch?

Romelu Lukaku. With seven goals from seven games at United, there’s no denying the Belgian’s current form. His strikes have been far from spectacular but Lukaku has shown a reoccurring knack of getting the job done, no matter the circumstances. Expect more of the same tonight.

2 mins: Saul Niguez gets forward and wins a corner which is eventually cleared by Chelsea. 

It looks more like Chelsea are playing 5-3-2 with Eden Hazard joining Alvaro Morata in attack.

More stadium-based analysis for those who are obsessed with a club's shed as I am.

4 mins: Eden Hazard picks the ball up from a deep positions and runs through the middle then finds Alvaro Morata with a pass. The Spanish striker sets himself with a touch then drags a shot wide. Nice move from Chelsea, entirely engineered by the returning Hazard.

Goal 

CSKA Moscow 0-1 Manchester United 

4 mins: This man simply cannot stop scoring. Romelu Lukaku adds another goal to his ever increasing tally in a United shirt. Lukaku plays a defence-splitting pass to Anthony Martial who returns the pass and the Belgian heads in his ninth goal in as many games.

10 min: Every time Eden Hazard picks up the ball something happens. Again, he collects the ball from deep and finds Alvaro Morata who fires another shot wide.

Chance!

12 mins: Eden Hazard has the first big chance of the match. His shot from range takes a slight deflection on its route to goal and his effort bounces off the post. Jan Oblack was routed, he was beaten and Atletico Madrid almost conceded their first goal in the new stadium.

Elsewhere in Europe

PSG are ahead against Bayern Munich. Neymar played a part in the goal but it was countryman Dani Alves who puts the French side ahead. Anyone else really hoping PSG get a penalty...?

Goal!

CSKA Moscow 0-2 Manchester United 

18 mins: Manchester United are awarded a penalty and Anthony Martial keeps his cool to double his side's lead.

[27 September 2017 20:11 · Jack Watson]

23 mins: David Luiz play a superb deep cross to Alvaro Morata who heads towards goal from the back post but sees his effort tipped over by Jan Oblack. The Atletico Madird goalkeeper is determined to keep this run of clean sheets in their new home.

[27 September 2017 20:12 · Jack Watson]

26 mins: Cesc Fabregas, N'Golo Kante and Eden Hazard combine with quick passing to give the latter space to fire a shot at goal but a low drive is easily saved. All Chelsea at the moment.
