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.

75 mins: Fernando Torres gets his first taste of action with a powerful drive from deep which results in a tame shot which is easily saved.

76 mins: Thomas makes way as Atletico make their final change by introducing Jose Gimenez.

[27 September 2017 21:21 · Jack Watson]

77 mins: Diego Simeone is gesturing to the crowd to get behind his players. Plenty of groans as Antoine Griezmann gives the ball away and not for the first time.

[27 September 2017 21:25 · Jack Watson]

79 mins: Chelsea roll the dice by introducing Michy Batshuayi and Willian who replace Alvaro Morata and Eden Hazard. Perhaps Antonio Conte has an eye on Saturday's clash with Manchester City.

[27 September 2017 21:28 · Jack Watson]

84 mins: Tiemoue Bakayoko gets away with a nervous challenge in the box on Fernando Torres. The referee waves away play but I'm filling that under 'seen those given.'

[27 September 2017 21:30 · Jack Watson]

86 mins: Chelsea make their final change and it looks like they'll settle for the point. Andreas Christensen comes on for Cesc Fabregas and David Luiz moves into midfield.

[27 September 2017 21:33 · Jack Watson]

90 mins: Three minutes of added time. Is there to be a winner for either side?

[27 September 2017 21:38 · Jack Watson]

Goal!

Atletico Madrid 1-2 Chelsea

93 mins: Marcos Alonso receives the ball after a string of clinical passes and his low cross finds Michy Batshuayi who taps in the winner and that is full time!

[27 September 2017 21:46 · Jack Watson]

Has everyone caught their breath yet? What a dramatic finish for Chelsea who deserved their late winner which had Diego Costa's head in his hands.

Eden Hazard and Alvaro Morata's chemistry was integral to Chelsea's success. They knew where each other were on the pitch at all times and could be a combined force in the Premier League.

[27 September 2017 21:51 · Jack Watson]

Eden Hazard to BT Sport: "We are very happy it was a tough game, we deserved to win. We are first in the group so we have quality in the team. Today was not easy and we are very satisfied. 

"Michy scores every time he's on the field, he's a top scorer.

"We are very confident, trust me. We just want to win every game."
