Aston Villa v Viking, Real Madrid v RB Leipzig and more: Champions League – live

Villa are ahead after having all of the momentum in the early stages of the encounter.

Bayern Munich 0-0 Arsenal, 22 min: The hosts have come close to opening the scoring with Neuer putting in a great long pass to Gnarby but Raya saves well.

Real Madrid 0-0 RB Leipzig, 21 min: It is end to end at the moment with Mbappe having a chance but his shot goes wide.

Real Madrid 0-0 RB Leipzig, 19 min: The hosts are in the ascendency here, they keep knocking on the door with chance after chance coming in. There's a sense they will break this deadlock soon.

Real Madrid 0-0 RB Leipzig, 17 min: How have Real Madrid not scored there? Bernardo Silva was left with an almost open goal but it gets caught under his feet and the chance is gone.

Christoph Lang has hit back for the visitors.

Real Madrid 0-0 RB Leipzig, 15 min: The Germans continue to play their free kicks backwards, admittedly they have been in their own half, but an interesting tactic nonetheless.

: There is less positive news for Arsenal fans as Bukayo Saka has been substituted off with an injury. The Gunners supporters will be hoping it isn't as serious as it looked.

Saka injured

: Joao Gomes went down with what looked to be a knee injury but after some medical attention he has been strapped up and he is playing on.

Real Madrid 0-0 RB Leipzig, 11 min: The hosts have really grown into this, RB Leipzig look a bit cagey now as opposed to their open play in the first five minutes.

Real Madrid 0-0 RB Leipzig, 9 min: Real Madrid have their first chance but the visitors deal with it well. Mbappe lurks, waiting for the ball and it does come in but the keeper is wise to it.

Real Madrid 0-0 RB Leipzig, 7 min: Cardoso makes a great run into the box but Rudiger does really well to put him off and win the ball back.

The first goal of the evening and it is a well taken penalty from Luis Suarez.

Real Madrid 0-0 RB Leipzig, 5 min: Rudiger gives away a free kick but they work it back to their keeper. It's not been an action packed start to this one but a fun fact is that today is Jose Mourinho's 100th day back in charge of Real Madrid.

Real Madrid 0-0 RB Leipzig, 3 min: The Bernabau is absolutely popping this evening, the atmosphere is electric. The hosts aren't intimadated as they have had the majority of possession so far.

2 min: Strap in everyone, this could get chaotic quite quickly. If you think I have missed anything important, email me and I'll post in the blog.

We are underway in all seven matches, get in touch with any thoughts as these all play out.

We do have a separate blog on Bayern v Arsenal which you can keep up to date with:

Here is a round up of the results from the games that have already taken place today:

David Raya says he does not care if rival supporters call Arsenal "boring" as his manager, Mikel Arteta, insisted that critics of the team's style were only a "very small minority".

Arsenal made it 10 wins out of 11 in all competitions for the season when they beat Nottingham Forest 1-0 at the City Ground on Sunday. But it was a day when Noni Madueke's late goal papered over a flat and one-paced performance. Arteta admitted his players had to be better in attacking terms and the discussion over how they are able to get the job done has tracked them to Germany where they face Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

A scoreline that might come as a shock to some is playing out right now, Como are beating Manchester United 4-0. You can keep up to date with the end of that one here:

The shot sailed wide of Peter Gulacsi's top corner and into the Kop, affording Villarreal much-needed respite at 4-2, but for Andoni Iraola it was a standout moment in a scintillating Champions League display from Rio Ngumoha. To a coach that called for versatility from all of his wingers this summer, here was a significant step forward among many from the 18-year-old at Anfield.

There were questions over how Ngumoha would adapt to playing on the right even before Liverpool increased the likelihood by signing Bradley Barcola for £123m from Paris Saint-Germain. On his fifth start under Iraola on Tuesday, which his side ultimately won 4-3, Liverpool witnessed an answer: quickly, incisively and confidently. The teenager's willingness to cut inside from the right and shoot from distance with the left foot captured Iraola's imagination as much as the devastating run that created Alexis Mac Allister's second goal of the game.

Here is what happened yesterday in the competition:
