McFly returns for another week of Champions League...

"It's me Marty again, there's just one word to describe my Champions League expectations this week: DRAW. So many of these teams have high expectations in their domestic leagues and have little to play for so expect few goals and tight games.

But there's always an exception, as in group B every team can go through to the next stage or even crash out completely so Inter are a great bet to guarantee their place in the next round with an away win against bottom side Werder Bremen. The draws I'm going for are Liverpool, who know how to keep it tight and will be saving a bit for their first good shot at the League title for a while, and Bayern Munich, who are evenly matched with Lyon, both having already qualified.

There's only one Premier league game this week and luckily it's the almost invincible Spurs who visit a struggling West Ham side, so get on Harry and his boys to dominate a very weak West Ham.

The Championship is shaping up to be a close affair this season with Wolves failing to really pull away, though they should beat a poor Derby side at home. Reading got things back on track with a win at Barnsley after going down to 10 men after 35 minutes so back them to get a home win. Watford are a team playing well without any luck but this time they're at home and after pushing Spurs all the way in the League Cup and almost snatching a point from second placed Birmingham at the weekend they should take all three against Norwich."
