Both Liverpool and Spurs trying to get through tonight.

Liverpool

Liverpool have to win.

If they do, and PSG are beaten at Red Star Belgrade, then it's a simple picture: both Liverpool and Napoli will go through. Who finishes top will depend on the result at Anfield.

There are two ways Liverpool can finish above Napoli - with a 1-0 win or with a victory by two goals or more.

Remember: it's not goal difference that separates teams level on points but the head-to-head record between sides. Exactly.

A 1-0 win would edge them through on goals scored, likewise a win by two goals or more. But if Napoli lose by one goal and score themselves, they would have the upper hand on away goals over their two games.

If PSG draw at Red Star and Liverpool win, the Reds, PSG and Napoli will be level on nine points.

They would be separated by their record in matches against each other - essentially a mini three-team group, discounting results against Red Star.

A Liverpool victory tonight would see them top that on six points, with PSG and Napoli level on five points.

Who progresses out of those two would depend on Napoli's result at Anfield.

If Liverpool beat Napoli, for example, 2-1, and PSG also win their match at Red Star Belgrade, then the Reds will be out.

Spurs

Spurs are second, ahead of Inter because they have a better head-to-head record in their two matches - they lead the Italians on away goals.

They lost 2-1 to Inter in the San Siro in their first meeting in September. So that's 2-2 on aggregate, as it were, after their 1-0 home win.

This all means that if Spurs finish level on points with Inter they will be the ones who go through.

So, Spurs will qualify if their result at Barcelona matches or betters Inter's result at home to PSV.

I've plumped for the Liverpool game for the potential for drama (as per the original post). Cracking atmos with the CL 'anthem' cobblers drowned out by You'll Never Walk Alone.

Me to, Spurs are only playing the Barcelona harbour 2nd team, so will still loose.

Well Spurs are losing already after some teen debutant fell over and allowed Dembele to stroll through and score, so I'll watch Liverpool now.

Especially when they have quite a few English players in their team, as do Liverpool.
