UEFA Champions League football returns to UK screens this week, with every match available live on TNT Sports and discovery+.
Matchday 6 began on Tuesday, with Arsenal the first of the British clubs in action as Mikel Arteta's side closed out Group B with a draw away at PSV Eindhoven.
Qualification and top spot was already secured for the Gunners, but there was far more at stake for Manchester United, although a 1-0 defeat to Bayern Munich at Old Trafford ended their European interest for the year.
On Wednesday, the focus will undoubtedly be on Newcastle United, who must beat AC Milan in an 8pm kick-off at St James' Park and hope that Paris Saint-Germain do not win away at Borussia Dortmund to progress.
Meanwhile, the pressure is off Manchester City when they travel to Red Star Belgrade at 5.45pm in the Serbian capital, with qualification and first place in Group G already secured.
The same is true of Celtic, but for all the wrong reasons, with Brendan Rodgers' side guaranteed to finish bottom of Group E regardless of their result at home to Feyenoord.

Highlights: City top group after Alvarez scores late goal to complete comeback win

What happened on Matchday 5?

There was plenty of drama involving the British sides, with Newcastle denied a famous victory away at Paris Saint-Germain thanks to Kylian Mbappe's controversial stoppage-time penalty. Alexander Isak's goal put the Magpies on course for three crucial points, but a VAR review harshly penalised Tino Livramento for handball in the box, and Mbappe made no mistake from the spot to secure a 1-1 draw.
Manchester City continued their 100 per cent record in Group G to claim top spot, recovering from 2-0 down to claim a 3-2 win at the Etihad after goals from Erling Haaland, Phil Foden and Julian Alvarez.
It was a sobering evening for Celtic in Rome, as Ciro Immobile's brace consigned them to a 2-0 defeat against Lazio to leave the Scottish champions slumped at the bottom of Group E.
Manchester United suffered more frustration in the competition after surrendering a 3-1 lead to draw 3-3 with Galatasaray. A goal each for Alejandro Garnacho, Bruno Fernandes and Scott McTominay looked to be enough for a crucial win, but Hakim Ziyech's second of the night and Kerem Akturkoglu's ferocious strike sealed the hosts a point.
It was a different story for Arsenal though, who booked their place in the last 16 as Group B winners following a 6-0 thrashing of Lens at the Emirates Stadium.
Goals from Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus, Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, Martin Odegaard and a Jorginho penalty completed the rout.
Here is how to watch the matches...
