Bolton have conceded ten goals in their last three away games and have shipped at least three in each of those, while Wolves have won three of their four competitive home games this season and have scored three or more goals twice.

Atletico Madrid are on a four-game winning streak and should have the confidence to take all three points from the struggling Manchester United. The Red Devils drew with fellow strugglers Tottenham at the weekend, taking their winless run to four games.

Barcelona have won all nine games this season and scored an incredible 39 goals in the process. They put five past Feyenoord in their UEFA Champions League opener and have scored at least three goals in eight of their nine games, while Galatasaray lost 3-1 to Sporting in their first UEFA Champions League assignment.

Inter Milan have won five of their seven games this season and are justified favourites against a Club Brugge side that lost to Aston Villa in their UEFA Champions League opener. The hosts have conceded in four of their last five, though, while Brugge have scored in all ten competitive games this season.

Monaco have spent the last couple of seasons in the Champions League, losing 5-4 on aggregate to PSG in last season’s knockouts.

They’ve appointed former Flamengo boss Filipe Luiz as their new manager, and the former Chelsea defender has an impressive track record. He led the Brazilian side to their domestic title, and brought continental success in the Copa Libertadores.

Strasbourg reached the last four of the Conference League last term, and this Monaco side are capable of going even further under a highly-rated young manager.

City aren’t quite right yet under Enzo Maresca. They may well come good but Lens away was arguably the worst road trip from Pot 4 while Napoli and Leipzig represent stern tests from Pot 3. And then there’s PSG and Barcelona. Altogether a tough test.

The home game against Bodo/Glimt and trip to Slavia ought to be the bedrock of a campaign in which Dino Toppmoller’s impressive group – who have already beaten PSG in the French Champions Trophy – can emerge successfully.

Barcelona could easily lose in Paris, legitimately drop points at Galatasaray and at home to Man City. One more slip and the top eight could feasibly elude them.

Arsenal were flawless 12 months ago and should have no difficulty getting to the 16 points which are probably required.

BVB came close to the top eight last season and have a great draw this year with Betis, AEK Athens, Sabah and even Inter Milan at home looks winnable.

PSV’s hammerings of Napoli and Liverpool last term were rare highs in an otherwise disappointing campaign. This season’s draw looks far kindlier for Peter Bosz and his Eredivisie big-hitters.
