We've given Bayer Leverkusen the slight edge with their form being slightly better as Lokomotiv Moscow battle to end their poor run of results and we think the German's will come out of this contest with a 2-1 win, a result that these sides have seen four times in their seven Champions League games so far this season.

But, with the expected absence of several key players coming after others - including Manchester United's Odion Ighalo and Yannick Carrasco of Atletico Madrid - chose to resume their careers to Europe, the CSL's sheen and its hopes for an impending resumption appear to be diminished.
Granted, they benefited from a failure of technology in their home draw against Sheffield United but having done so could easily have taken three points as opposed to one. They then almost burgled a win against Chelsea on Sunday, taking the lead despite having precious little of the ball, before the Blues rallied to turn the game their way. This may only be the second point they have taken from the last 21 avaialable to them but it is a timely boost, reminding them that they can mix it with some of the top-flight's most stubborn sides and may yet well edge themselves ahead of a faltering pack of sides above them.

Leonardo Jardim's Monaco haven’t been great on the road recently but we feel they have enough quality in their team to get past this woeful Toulouse side. Les Monegasques haven't lost any of their last five clashes with Toulouse and we're expecting them to get the three points.

How did I become a record-breaker if I wasn't a natural scorer? Time. I played for United for 13 years, England for 15 years.
