Live Football on TV

There's more Champions League besides the two headline acts. AEK Athens v LASK kicks off the same time as Brugge-Villa (5:45pm, TNT Sports 2, HBO Max), then at 8pm alongside Real Madrid-Inter it's Borussia Dortmund v Villarreal (TNT Sports 2 and 6, HBO Max), Lille v Real Betis (TNT Sports 3, HBO Max) and FC Porto v Manchester City (Amazon Prime Video). The Under-19s get their own Youth League programme through the day too -- FC Porto U19s v Manchester City U19s (midday), Club Brugge U19s v Aston Villa U19 (1pm) and Real Madrid U19s v Inter Milan U19s (3pm).

The Championship serves up five games at 7:45pm: Blackburn Rovers v Sheffield United, Cardiff City v Stoke City, Southampton v Swansea City, Watford v Preston North End and Wrexham v Burnley, all on Sky Sports+. Bolton Wanderers v West Ham United follows at 8pm on Sky Sports Football.

It's a big Carabao Cup third round night beyond Millwall-Newcastle -- Crystal Palace v Middlesbrough, Sunderland v Hull City, Bournemouth v Lincoln City and Leyton Orient v Bradford City are all 7:45pm on Sky Sports+.

Lower down, there's a mammoth National League Cup group night with 15 ties from 7pm and 7:45pm on National League+, pitting non-league sides against Under-21 academy teams from the likes of Newcastle, Everton, Leeds, West Ham, Fulham, Norwich, Ipswich, Leicester, Wolves, West Brom and Forest. The EFL Trophy adds Exeter City v Tottenham Hotspur U21 and Doncaster v Huddersfield Town (both 7pm, Sky Sports+).

Elsewhere there's a full Women's U20 World Cup group programme -- Benin Women U20 v Argentina Women U20 and Brazil Women U20 v Canada Women U20 both at 2pm, then Poland Women U20 in action twice at 5pm, against Mexico and Tanzania, all on DAZN. Non-league's well covered too: Buxton v Brackley Town and Macclesfield Town v Scarborough Athletic in the National League North, three National League South ties -- Maidenhead United v Torquay United, Tonbridge Angels v Maidstone United and Dagenham and Redbridge v Dover Athletic -- and Larne v Bangor in Northern Ireland's NIFL Premiership.
