Middlesbrough were 4-3 winners against Norwich on Saturday, and they host a Millwall side that has suffered 3-1, 3-0, and 5-1 defeats across their last four league outings.

Hibernian have lost their last two games, while Kilmarnock have taken only one point from their first five matches. Hibs should win, but no team have played more Premiership matches with four goals or more than Killie, so expect entertainment at Easter Road.

Celtic need to bounce back after a 3-0 hammering at rivals Rangers saw them exit the Scottish League Cup in the worst way possible, but there is no guarantee they do that in their Europa League opener. Visitors Ferencvaros lost only one of their eight league-phase games last season and have won ten of their 15 games under new boss Balazs Borbely.

After leading Manchester United to the Europa League final in 2025, Ruben Amorim is aiming to go one better with new side AC Milan.

The Rossoneri have literally bought into Amorim’s tactical approach, breaking their transfer record to sign Goncalo Ramos to lead the line. They’ve also spent £42million on Diego Moreira, a winger converted to a wing-back at Strasbourg.

Amorim can lean on the experience of Luka Modric in midfield and Mike Maignan in goal, while the club have some young talents who look suited to Amorim’s approach in Davide Bartesaghi and Alphadjo Cisse.

While Amorim underwhelmed in England, his United side secured some impressive European results, as did his Sporting outfit. Armed with one of the stronger squads in Europe’s second-tier competition, Amorim can help Milan lift this trophy for the first time.

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.
