There's plenty of top-class football coming our way over the next seven days. The stand-out fixtures are on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week, when the pride of the Premiership take on European opposition.

We've reached round four of the group stage of the Champions League. The rivals in each pool have all played each other once in previous rounds, which means it's time for the reverse fixtures.

The Premiership sides have made the running in their groups, with Chelsea, Liver-pool and Manchester United sitting pretty at the tops of Groups A, C and F.

Arsenal are currently second in Group G following their 1-0 defeat away to CSKA Moscow two weeks ago. The Gunners can return to the top spot by beating the Russian champions on Wednesday. The match is on SSX from 7.30pm. Kick-off 7.45pm.

Also on Wednesday, Manchester United play FC Copenhagen. The Red Devils have picked up maximum points, with three wins from three so far. A win in the Danish capital will virtually guarantee a spot in the next round for Sir Alex Ferguson's team. The match is on SS2 from 7.30pm, with a kick-off time of 7.45pm.

Earlier in the week, Liverpool and Chelsea are both in action.

Liverpool have been saving their best for Europe so far this season, and a win against group strugglers Bordeaux on Tuesday will keep their bid to qualify from their group on track. The Reds secured a 1-0 win away to the French side in the reverse and will expect to beat them at Anfield. ITV4's coverage starts at 7.30pm, for a 7.45pm kick-off.

Rounding out this foursome, Chelsea play Barcelona at the Nou Camp. The Premiership champions take on the reigning European champions in what should be a night to remember. Coverage of Tuesday's glamour tie is on ITV1 from 7.30pm. The action starts at 7.45pm.
