Liverpool travel to Portugal to take on Porto on Matchday 2 of the UEFA Champions League. Jurgen Klopp's side are yet to lose a game this season and will look to continue their unbeaten streak with a win against the Portuguese heavyweights.

Liverpool will be going into the game off the back of a 3-3 draw against Brentford at the weekend. One can expect Jurgen Klopp's side to take their frustrations out against Porto and absolutely demolish the Portuguese side.

A win for Liverpool would take them to six points in this season's UEFA Champions League. With AC Milan taking on Atletico Madrid in the group's other fixture, Jurgen Klopp's side have a great opportunity to break away from the chasing pack.


#2 Bayern Munich assert their dominance

Bayern Munich demolished Barcelona 3-0 on Matchday 1 of the UEFA Champions League. Julian Nagelsmann's side completely dominated the Blaugrana at the Camp Nou and looked unstoppable in their win.

Since that victory, Bayern Munich have gone on to score 10 goals in their last two games. They will now host Dynamo Kyiv on Matchday 2 of the UEFA Champions League. Things could get ugly for the Ukrainian side, as Bayern are currently on an eight-game winning streak during which they have managed to score 40 goals.

It is hard to see Julian Nagelsmann's side do anything apart from absolutely annihilate Dynamo Kyiv and take a commanding lead in Group E.


#1 Manchester City get the better of PSG

Manchester City will look to beat a weakened PSG side on Matchday 2 of the UEFA Champions League.

Matchday 2 of the UEFA Champions League offers up the 'Oil Classico' as some fans call it. PSG host Premier League champions Manchester City at the Parc des Princes in a mouthwatering clash of heavyweights.

Both sides will go into the game in strong runs of form. However, PSG may be without a few key players for the clash. Angel Di Maria is suspended, while Marco Verratti is unavailable due to injury. Mauricio Pochettino will also be sweating on the fitness of Lionel Messi, who has missed the side's last two games due to a bone bruise.

Manchester City, on the other hand, have a nearly full-strength side, as only Oleksandr Zinchenko and Ilkay Gundogan are doubts for the game. Pep Guardiola should be confident of going to Paris and coming away with all three points. That is likely to be the case on Matchday 2 of the UEFA Champions League.
