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.

Antonio Conte to BT Sport: "The performance was very good, I'm very pleased for my players. To play this way, with this spirit and personality is very good. We scored twice and we deserved to win. 

"I think we prepared the game very well and I'm pleased for my players because they showed concentration and a great will to win. 

"We must be very happy because Eden's performance was amazing and it was the first big game for him after the bad injury, his answer was fantastic. He has a great link with Alvaro."
