Live Text : Tuesday's Football - The Build Up


19-44 : All the teams out, and we're ready to go. See above for the live commentary on all the first half action, and be sure to get involved!

19-42 : Marseille look set to play just the one man in attack for their game over Arsenal, with Remy set to lead the line alone. Defensive move? Arsenal will be hoping they can strike early and force their opponents to open up as the game goes on.

19-41 : Just over 5 minutes till most games will kick off, although there is one exception, Palace hosting Portsmouth in the Championship will start at 8-00.

19-38 : From InfostradaLive on Twitter - 'Chelsea are starting a CL game with only 1 Englishman in their starting team for the 3rd time in 10 years.' This is due to Terry and Lampard being on the bench, Cole is that one in question.

19-33 : It's lashing it down in Belgium at Genk. The home side have said they expect a crowd of around 25'000, and it should be a good atmosphere there.

19-31 : We're looking forward to hearing from you tonight as well, so by all means get involved! Send us a tweet at @TacticalBet, or just use an appropriate # before your thoughts, and we'll get them up on here.

19-30 : Odds changing all the time of course, and we'll try and keep you up to date with all the changes as they happen. Right now, Arsenal slightly slipping out after the news RVP won't start, draw at 3.8 looking a more common bet, although the Gunners are still favourites.

19-27 : The is, as mentioned, a load of action in the Championship too, Notts Forest at home to Reading and rock bottom Bristol City travelling to the formidable Upton Park two of the main attractions. One game in League Two tonight, Aldershot host Burton Albion.

19-25 : Team news now in our feature two games, the two English sides in action in Europe. Chelsea make a host of changes, Luiz and Romeu the notable ones, they come in for Terry and Mikel. Up top, the Blues opt for Torres and Anelka, supported with Florent Malouda. Arsenal bring in Jenkinson, and also give Park Chu Young a rare start, with Van Persie to main absentee, he's rested and on the bench.

19-22 : Time to tie a few loose ends up, by way of some results which were completed earlier. BATE held AC Milan to a 1-1, a result which means Barcelona can steal the lead of that group. Zenit won 1-0 over Shakhtar in Russia, and they now top group G.

19-20 : It's been a 'disastrous week' for Chelsea apparently, so can they bounce back tonight with a win at Genk? They're massive favourites at 1.31. Arsenal, the architects of Villas Boas' and Chelsea's downfall on Saturday, face Marseille at home, again expected to win at 1.78. But, it's the Champions League, and anything can happen, and how both teams could really do with wins to push home their positions in respective groups. Also in action tonight are numerous Championship games, and one from League Two, while big sides such as Porto, Valencia and Dortmund are all in European action.
