The remainder of the second group stage games get underway tonight as Premier League sides Liverpool and Tottenham face tough challenges.

Jurgen Klopp's men travel to Napoli, while Spurs entertain Barcelona at Wembley Stadium.

Liverpool picked up all three points in their first game with an impressive victory over PSG and they are 11/10 to get on the plane back to England with a win tonight.

However, Napoli (12/5) won't be a pushover for Liverpool, they have only lost twice so far this season in all competitions (W5, D1, L2) and one of those defeats was to Juventus.

Carlo Ancelotti's men drew their opening game of the Champions League to Red Star Belgrade; therefore, you could argue that they will want the win, even more, tonight to get their campaign back on track.

Liverpool haven't won in their last two, losing to Chelsea in the Carabao Cup before Daniel Sturridge scored late at Stamford Bridge to grab a draw at the weekend.

Napoli star Lorenzo Insigne is 13/2 to open the scoring against the Merseyside team and 5/2 to bag his sixth goal of the season at any point.

Roberto Firmino scored 11 goals in last year's route to the final and grabbed the winner against PSG in the 3-2 win last month. The Brazilian is 13/8 to score anytime and 5/1 to fire Liverpool into the lead.

Tottenham's task against Barcelona was made even harder as key men Jan Vertonghen, Mousa Dembele, Christian Eriksen, Dele Alli and Serge Aurier all miss out; however, Hugo Lloris returns to play between the sticks.

Mauricio Pochettino's men are 11/4 to beat the Spanish giants, while Barca are 10/11 to leave Wembley with the three points. A draw is 13/5.

Spurs can take positives from Barcelona's recent form, as they haven't won in three games (D2, L1). The Catalan side are also with defenders Samuel Umtiti and Sergi Samper, meaning that Gerard Pique, who has been shaky at the back in recent games, will have to start.

Lionel Messi is 8/13 to score at any time and 11/4 to bag the first goal, while England star Harry Kane is 7/2 to grab the first goal of the game and even money to get his fourth goal in three games.

Remaining fixtures:

Lok. Moscow (13/5) v Schalke (6/5)

PSG (1/16) v Red Star Belgrade (40/1)

Atletico Madrid (2/7) v Club Brugge (10/1)

Dortmund (1/3) v Monaco (15/2)

FC Porto (1/2) v Galatasaray (11/2)

PSV (9/5) v Inter Milan (7/5)
