Of the eight Champions League matches that will be taking place this Tuesday, Sevilla v Liverpool is expected to be the closest.

As of this moment, Sevilla and Liverpool sit at the top of Group E. Here are the standings as of this moment:

Liverpool, 8 points
Sevilla, 7 points
Spartak Moscow, 5 points
NK Maribor, 1 point

This is obviously a big game for both teams, as a win for either club would mean sole possession of first place in the group. Depending on the result of Spartak Moscow v NK Maribor, Spartak Moscow could find themselves in second place in the group if Liverpool emerges victorious over Sevilla.

Sevilla, 2.45
Liverpool, 2.89
Draw, 3.2

Here are the three likeliest outcomes of Tuesday's match:

Draw 1-1, 6.0
Sevilla, 2-1, 10.00
Liverpool, 2-1, 10.00

And here are the five players with the best odds to score:

Wissam Ben Yedder, 2.5
Daniel Sturridge, 2.88
Luis Muriel, 2.5
Roberto Firmino, 2.88
Mohamed Salah, 2.75

Both of these clubs should make it through to the next round of Champions League play, though Spartak Moscow could seize an opportunity with a positive result this week.

This should be one of the best games of the week.
