Our stats expert says this game has all the makings of a goal feast. But then, nobody expected CSKA-Bayern to finish 1-0... will he be right or have egg on his face come 10pm?

Rudi Garcia: "We have three points, we have started off well and we will have the chance to play without any pressure. After the draw everyone tipped us to succumb to defeat in this game, so we have nothing to lose. We are the underdogs in this group and it gives us great pride to show that we can change the people’s perception.”

Manuel Pellegrini: "It is obviously a big game after the disappointing start we had in Munich. Roma have been doing very well. We have focused a lot more on them since they were drawn in our group. They got a great result in their opening game. "I think we are playing well," he said. "Maybe at the beginning of the season we didn't score so many goals here at home, especially against Chelsea and Stoke. We scored only one goal in those two games. "But after that the team returned to its normal performance and at this moment I have a lot of trust in the team because I think we are in a good moment."

We've already had one of our eight Champions League games this evening. In your typical early kick-off for games in Russia, CSKA Moscow were edged out 1-0 by Bayern Munich in front of... well, nobody.
