After two wins out of two in this competition, are Unai Emery's men ghosting into Champions League contention? They won the Europa League last season and are 40/141.00 to get their hands on the biggest prize of all in 2026/27.

On Wednesday, Villa host Viking, the Norwegian side that drew 3-3 with Bayern Munich last week. They've scored four goals across their two games in this stage of the Champions League while for Villa the figure is nine following their 6-0 demolition of Fenerbahce last time out. So we are backing over 4.5 goals here.

Emery is getting the best out of Nicolas Jackson and we will back the Senegalese forward to score. The other player who's in goalscoring form for Villa is Johan Manzambi who was on target against Fener and got the decisive goal against Newcastle on Saturday. We back him to make it three in three.

Now we'd like to recommend a Champions League acca for four matches, taking place on Tuesday and Wednesday, which you can back at an appealing price on the Betfair Sportsbook.

Only three teams - PSG, Barcelona and Aston Villa - have scored more goals than Liverpool in the Champions League this season but no side above 16th in the table has conceded more (4). Villarreal lost a five-goal thriller last time out in this competition so we should be able to expect more goals at Anfield.

United are winless in six in all competitions. Como, who are managed by Cesc Fabregas, are unbeaten at home this season - a run that includes beating RB Leipzig 4-1 in this competition - and returned to winning ways at the weekend with a 3-1 win away to Fiorentina. Sorry United fans but at odds-against we have to back the home win.

With consecutive clean sheets, Arsenal are back to the defensive solidity that won them the Premier League title and a place in last season's Champions League final. But have they faced a strike of Harry Kane's calibre recently? He's got nine in all competitions this season for Bayern and was on target twice last week against Viking. Kane can give Spurs fans something to cheer here.
