Liverpool, for its part, will book its place in the last 16 games with a win away in Paris – which is one of our three key matches live tonight.

Live updates
PSG vs Liverpool last
Jurgen Klopp is expected to make only a change to the formation that beat Paris Saint-Germain in September when both sides resumed their rivalry tonight.
An injury to the eye prevented Roberto Firmino from starting this last confrontation. The Brazilian scored the decisive goal in the hosts' 3-2 win at Anfield.
However, it is likely to appear initially at the expense of Daniel Sturridge at the Parc des Princes in an otherwise familiar starting lineup.
That means starting for the trusted trio Jordan Henderson, Gini Wijnaldum and James Milner in the center of the park.
Meanwhile, Joe Gomez will be reinstated at the defense center after missing Dejan Lovren for the weekend win at Watford.
As for the hosts, Thomas Tuchel is considering two surprise changes to his lineup to avoid a defeat that would put an end to PSG hopes of reaching the knockout stages.
Marquinhos was supported to retain the midfielder role he held at Anfield earlier this year at the expense of Adrien Rabiot.
The back Thomas Meunier – who scored during this meeting – should also miss, with Thilo Kehrer being preferred.
Liverpool: Alison, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson, Milner, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Mane, Salah, Firmino.
PSG: Buffon, Kehrer, Kimpembe, Silva, Bernat, Marquinhos, Verratti, Di Maria, Mbappe, Neymar, Cavani.
Pep Guardiola explains why Phil Foden has not started
Pep Guardiola revealed why he had left Phil Foden out of his home group against Lyon, saying he wanted to face all his attackers.
Manchester City booked its place in the knockout stages of the Champions League with a 2-2 draw in France.
Despite the absence of the injured Kevin de Bruyne, Bernardo Silva and Ilkay Gundogan, Guardiola has always named Foden, 18, on the bench.
But explaining his decision, he said that he wanted to overwhelm Lyon by his attack.
Raheem Sterling debuted in the middle of the field, with Sergio Aguero, Leroy Sane and Riyad Mahrez all appointed to the front.
"I chose another player," said Guardiola, about Foden and his pre-match comments on the fact that the teenager was ready to start. "Everyone is ready, but I imagine that playing this game would be difficult.
"Every game, I make mistakes. I came here to show that we wanted to win and I attacked all the attackers we have. "
Maxwel Cornet gave Lyon the lead twice in the second half, but goals from Aymeric Laporte and Aguero allowed City to finish 16th for the sixth year in a row.
Guardiola added, "Being here is a huge success. People say that it is not enough – but we have achieved an incredible feat, amazing for us.
"Now it's time to enjoy it and hope we can arrive in February in the best conditions."
Why did Jose break those bottles of water?
Jose Mourinho said he crushed a series of bottles of water after seeing his team win a victory over the Young Boys.
Marouane Fellaini scored in time to win the victory that allowed United to appear in the Champions League Round of 16 after a frustrating evening against the Swiss champions.
United missed several opportunities. David de Gea again saved his team by a magnificent save in front of the Belgian in the first minute of the injury, which caused a lively Mourinho party.
Explaining what resulted in the incident of the water bottles, the boss of United said: "Relief. Frustration before that and relief with purpose. I think we did not play for that, we did not play for 0-0.
"We did not play until we had trouble until the last minute, so frustration. I was not unhappy with the players. Not at all."
With this victory, United will travel to Valencia for his last group match, his place in the knockout stages of the competition being already assured.
It's all for tonight's drama – we'll be back tomorrow for more action in the Champions League, with Liverpool, Tottenham and Barcelona in action.
Man Utd boss told BT Sport: "It's a very tough group and qualifying with a losing game is a good thing, the performance had a lot of good things and a lot of disappointing things."
"We've lost too many chances, some of the most crucial ones in crucial moments – that's the kind of game if you score in the first minute, you normally go for a different performance. Draw only in defeat David de Gea only There was a save, but this one is phenomenal, which makes the best goalkeeper in the world and gives his team the opportunity to win the match.
"The most important thing is to qualify me and for some of my lovers and those who love the stats, I have 14 seasons in the Champions League and 14 times my teams have qualified for the group stages. I have not been to the Champions League, I have won the Europa League. "
I said that Jose Mourinho was busy with a crate of drinks after this goal. I was wrong. He was two.
The manual kicks, launches a second technique. Glorious.
Manchester City defender Kyle Walker is in charge of BT Sport
"There are still things we need to work on, it's completely different from the Premier League, there are things we have to go through, but we're done and hopefully we can get a good draw.
"They gave us a good game at Etihad, so we knew it would be a tough match, they have good players in good sectors and fast players, but we got a good draw."
Manchester City 2-2 Lyon
