Bookmakers will be fearing the worst on Tuesday and Wednesday when England's four representatives in the Champions League take on lesser opponents. Punters traditionally like to back the Premier League teams in Europe, even at very short odds, and an accumulator on Arsenal, Man United, Liverpool and Chelsea to win pays out at 9/2 (Paddy Power).

The Gunners seemingly have the easiest match and they're 2/9 (bet365) to beat Slavia Prague and continue their 100% record. Chelsea are also expected to follow up their outstanding 2-1 win in Valencia with victory against Schalke and are no better than 8/15 (William Hill) to collect the three points. Didier Drogba may also be worth a First Goalscorer punt for this match at 9/2 (bet direct).

After a 4-1 victory at Villa Park on Saturday evening, Man United will be brimming with confidence on the eve of their game away to Dynamo Kiev and the Red Devils are 4/6 (totesport) to make it nine from nine points in the Ukraine.

2004/5 champions Liverpool have the sternest task of all on Wednesday evening, where they travel to Besiktas desperately in search of their first group win. The pressure will be on the Reds to deliver at 4/5 (Stan James), although a draw is perhaps the likelier result at 13/5 (bet365), considering Pool drew 1-1 in Porto.
