Fiona Bruce has been hosting a new format of the panel show in recent weeks. Guests on Question Time have been answering video questions amid the coronavirus outbreak to maintain social distancing. Tonight’s show included guests Brandon Lewis, the Northern Ireland secretary, Rachel Reeves, Shadow chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, Peter Openshaw, Professor of experimental medicine at Imperial College, comedian and write Ruby Wax and Darren McGarvey, a Scottish rapper also known as Loki.

But it seems the Good Morning Britain presenter was not impressed with their debate this evening, as he savaged the show on Twitter after it aired.

He wrote: “Love Question Time but that was an absolute shocker tonight.

“Biggest crisis since WW2 & we’re served up a ranting Scottish rapper, Ruby Wax plugging her business, a scientist praising China (WTF?) and two dull politicians spouting platitudes.

“Very disappointing.“

Followers of Piers Morgan have echoed the presenter’s sentiments of the show’s lack of quality.

Steve Richards: “I’m surprised you’re surprised.

“There’s something rotten at the heart of this programme.

“A shame, it used to be great, several years ago.”

In response, Mark Holdstock asked “is anyone watching Question Time any more?”

The show also focused on the public- health sector’s status in the coronavirus pandemic.

Peter Openshaw, Professor of experimental medicine at Imperial College, commented that there wasn’t enough investment into the sector to effectively handle the virus.

He said: “It’s incredibly important to appreciate the great work of the scientists who’ve been developing testing in this country have been doing.

“They’ve been working really hard to build up from a low place because there hasn’t been enough investment in public health over the last 10 years, and the public health structure has been reorganised repeatedly.

“I think we do know now that we can get on with the testing, but it’s important that it’s really high quality…”

The number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the UK reached 65,077 on Thursday.

At least 7,978 have died after contracting the virus.

Lockdown measures are likely to be extended beyond the initial three weeks to further stem chances of infection.

Already all but assured of a top-four spot, Jose Mourinho’s men are looking to tighten their grip on second place and secure their highest finish since Sir Alex Ferguson bowed out as champion in 2013.

Arsenal, who are sixth in the domestic standings, are three points ahead of Burnley with two games in-hand.

United are unbeaten in 10 home league matches against Arsenal, their longest run since 1961.

MANCHESTER UNITED vs ARSENAL

Analysis from our reporter Richard Tanner, at Old Trafford.

16:18: One look at the Arsenal team-sheet will have United fans dreaming of a repeat of their 8-2 win over the Gunners in 2011 or the 6-1 triumph in 2001.

Not entirely unexpected that for his final trip to Old Trafford as Gunners boss, Wenger has one eye on Thursday’s Europa League semi-final second leg with Atletico madrid.

He has made eight changes from the starting line-up from Thursday’s first leg – with a trio of youngsters, Reiss Nelson, Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Konstantinos Mavropanos, all in the team.

The three survivors are keeper Opsin,a Bellerin and midfielder Xhaka, who will wear the captain’s armband.

By contrast, United have made only one change from their team that beat Spurs in the FA Cup semi-final last weekend. Victor Lindelof replaces the injured Phil Jones.

Jose Mourinho and Sir Alex Ferguson have paid tribute to Wenger in the Untied programme and United fans will – hopefully – give the the Frenchman the respectful send off he deserves despite the intense rivalry between the clubs over the years.

TWITTER ROUND-UP

Advil: Arsene Wenger has fielded a rookie team on purpose today to avoid the embarrassment of getting thumped with his full starting XI. Clever way of absolving himself of responsibility.

Jay: Arsene Wenger will be hoping Arsenal’s youngster’s can do to Manchester United what Marcus Rashford did to Arsenal a few seasons ago under LVG…

Matt: Mavropanos has been impressing in the Under-23 squad but I’m stunned he starts this game. He was 100 per cent a Sven Mislintat recommendation, so let’s see if he is earning his keep..

THE PROGRAMME…

16:10: There’s a touching tribute from Sir Alex Ferguson to Arsene Wenger in today’s programme.

He hails the Frenchman’s “absolutely fantastic” career Arsenal, adding that “the job he’s done in those 22 years is phenomenal in terms of the Premier League.”

Fergie also refers to him as “an exceptional person”. Sweet.

CAN’T WIN WITH KIDS…

16:05: Arsenal will be hoping Alan Hansen’s famous quote proves incorrect once again today.

The average age of Arsenal’s starting XI is 24years 67days. That is their youngest for a Premier League game since August 2011, which was also at Old Trafford against Manchester United (24y 65d) when they lost 8-2.

There’s something worryingly cyclical about that stat.

FOOTBALL FRIENDS

15:55: That’s quite an appropriate headline given I binged on The Inbetweeners last night. You can tell my social life is thriving…

It looks like Jose Mourinho and Arsene Wenger’s long-term rivalry will end on a peaceful note.

The 68-year-old has had a number of unsavoury spats with Mourinho since the Portuguese took over at Chelsea in 2004 – with the rivalry between the pair often leading to verbal – and sometimes physical – altercations.

While the two have clashed in the past, Mourinho spoke warmly about Wenger following his announcement and has since suggested they could “even be friends in the future”.

Fairytale stuff…

ALEXIS REUNION

15:50: Arsene Wenger thinks today’s reunion with Alexis Sanchez will be a “strange” sensation.

Yes Arsene, I’m sure it will feel strange as he’s unleashed against debutant Konstantinos Mavropanos…

Anyway, having been named man of the match in last weekend’s FA Cup semi-final win over Tottenham, Sanchez will now meet his former club for the first time in what will be Wenger’s last visit to United as Gunners’ boss.

Asked if it will be a little strange coming up against the former Barcelona man, Wenger said: “Of course. The only thing that has not changed is the colour, that is still red. It’s strange for me to see him in a different shirt because he had a strong bond with the club and of course he was here for a few years. He did extremely well for us.”

TWITTER ROUND-UP

Dip: Somebody please help! Arsene Wenger wants us to remember his last trip to Old Trafford! With this line-up it could easily be 6-1, if we’re lucky!

Olayinka: Another 8-2 scoreline imminent at Old Trafford with the squad Arsene Wenger is putting out today.

Tom: Arsene Wenger asking for one last Thumping at Old Trafford, that starting line-up is so weak it’s embarrassing.

So… not a lot of optimism amongst the Arsenal fans this afternoon…

TEAM NEWS – MANCHESTER UNITED

15:40: Just the one change for Jose Mourinho from the side who beat Tottenham at Wembley. Victor Lindelof comes in for Phil Jones in defence.

Elsewhere it’s business as usual with Romulu Lukaku supported by ex-Arsenal icon Alexis Sanchez and Jesse Lingard with Paul Pogba in a more advanced role.

TEAM NEWS – ARSENAL

15:35: Right, this could take a while to explain.

It’s safe to say Arsene Wenger has rested most of his squad for Thursday’s trip to Atletico Madrid.

The Frenchman has made EIGHT changes for today’s battle with Manchester United with David Ospina, Hector Bellerin and Granit Xhaka the only survivors from the 1-1 draw with Diego Simeone’s side.

20-year-old Greek defender Konstantinos Mavropanos starts at the back alongside Callum Chambers with Bellerin and Sead Kolasinac at full-back.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles partners Xhaka in the middle with Reiss Nelson and Alex Iwobi on the flanks with Henrikh Mkhitaryan in the number 10 role.

AFTERNOON

15:20: Welcome to our LIVE coverage of the Premier League.

New best friends Jose Mourinho and Arsene Wenger (I’ll explain that later) go head-to-head at Old Trafford.

With only the quest to secure second and sixth-placed finishes at stake, today is more about personnel.

Wenger takes his Arsenal side to Old Trafford for the FINAL time, Alexis Sanchez meets his former club for the FIRST time since leaving and the Gunners are expected to rest key players for the UMPTEENTH time ahead of the Europa League second leg with Atletico Madrid.

After that suitably low-key introduction, let’s have the team news and line-ups.

Sergio Romero remains the only absentee for Manchester United with a knee injury sustained on international duty with Argentina last month. Antonio Valencia has overcome a muscle complaint sustained in last weekend’s FA Cup semi-final win against Tottenham.

Arsene Wenger could make a raft of changes for Arsenal. The Gunners have prioritised the Europa League in recent weeks and, following a 1-1 home draw with Atletico Madrid on Thursday night, Wenger will want his first-team regulars fit and raring to go in Spain. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, cup-tied in Europe, is available while Henrikh Mkhitaryan could feature against his former club but may be one of those rested having only just recovered from a knee injury. Mohamed Elneny (ankle) and Santi Cazorla (Achilles) are missing.

Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid: Champions League latest score, news and updates from the Allianz Arena

Real Madrid and Bayern Munich meet in tonight’s blockbuster Champions League semi-final clash.

The two sides, both giants of the European game, meet each other in the first leg of their eagerly-anticipated last four tie at the Allianz Arena.

Holders Real Madrid, who are bidding for a 13th European crown and a third in succession, beat the Bundesliga champions in last year’s quarter-finals.

But Jupp Heynckes, also a winner with Bayern in 2013, and Zinedine Zidane insist it counts for nothing tonight.

FAVOURITES…

19:15: Well there isn’t a favourite, if the two managers are to be believed. Zinedine Zidane and Jupp Heynckes both believe tonight’s semi-final is wide open.

Zidane said: “I don’t think there are any favourites. It’s a semi-final – it’s completely different to last season. It’s a different match.

“We are in the semi-finals and we want to play a good game. We are prepared for that, knowing that we are going to have to suffer.

“We will need a big performance against a strong opponent. Bayern are a great club with great team spirit. I have no doubts that mentally we will be at 150 per cent.”

Opposite number Heynckes echoed those thoughts. He said: “Both of our teams will provide us with attractive football. There are big players and it will be an open game. For me there is no favourite but I have a good feeling.

“We have had success in the Bundesliga, reached the final of the cup and we want to cap that with the final of the Champions League.”

TWITTER ROUND-UP

Jay: Going for a 2-1 Real Madrid win tonight. I want them to get the victory because I don’t want Liverpool facing Bayern Munich in the final.

Seen: Not too sure who I want to win tonight, probably Bayern given Real Madrid’s recent experience. I assume they are both more sure about who they would like to play in Kiev between Liverpool and Roma.

Benjamin: If Real Madrid win the Champions League I don’t want to hear anybody saying “they had an easy path” PSG, Juventus, Bayern Munich, and probably Liverpool…

Ok Benjamin, I promise…

FOE…

19:05: I’m not sure the term ‘foe’ is strong enough to describe Cristiano Ronaldo’s record against Bayern Munich.

The Portuguese superstar has scored nine times against the Bundesliga champions.

The only player to have netted more Champions League goals than that against a single opponent is… himself! Juventus are the poor recipients of that particular record.

19:00: No great surprises in Jupp Heynckes’s selection.

James Rodriguez, who is on loan from Real Madrid, starts against his parent club at the Allianz Arena. I’m sure he won’t come back to haunt them…

David Alaba is ruled out of the semi-final first leg with a thigh injury.

TEAM NEWS – REAL MADRID

18:55: Right then Mr Zidane, what have you done with your team selection.

For starters, Zinedine has dropped compatriot Karim Benzema, Asensio and Gareth Bale to the bench with Lucas Vazquez getting the nod ahead of the superstar trio.

Cristiano Ronaldo will play as the lone striker, which makes sense considering he’s scored in every single Champions League game he has played in so far.

Sergio Ramos is restored at centre-back having missed the controversial Juventus second leg through suspension. He’s alongside Raphael Varane.

BALE ULTIMATUM

18:50: See what I did there? Yep, that’s right. It’s like The Bourne Ultimatum…

Promotion in the bag.

Back in reality, Gareth Bale has not ruled out a move to Bayern Munich in the summer, and I suspect being left on the bench again this evening will only fuel rumours.

Bale’s future at the Bernabeu has been the subject of speculation for several months with a return to the Premier League a possibility.

The 28-year-old, who joined Real Madrid from Tottenham in September 2013 for a then world record transfer fee of £85million, said he was flattered to be linked with the Bundesliga champions.

“You can never rule out anything in football,” Bale told the German newspaper Bild. “Currently, I play football at Real Madrid and I enjoy that.

“Bayern have a fantastic squad and already in the past they have always been one of the most successful clubs in Europe. It’s an honour for everyone to be linked with this club. But as of now I am a Real Madrid player.”

Maj: Cristiano Ronaldo is going to be so heavily marked today. As long as he’s the decoy to draw their attention and open up space for the others, it works for me.

Ken: At the moment I want Real Madrid to beat Bayern Munich. Liverpool have zero chance against Zinedine Zidane’s side. I’d rather have them win the Champions League than Liverpool.

Michael: Everyone seems desperate for Real Madrid to qualify so they’ll stop Liverpool from winning it, however Bayern would blow them away as well!

18:30: Having nailed a D+ in GCSE German, I was the obvious candidate to bring you LIVE coverage of tonight’s Champions League semi-final.

Real Madrid and Bayern Munich meet at the Allianz Arena in the first leg of their eagerly-anticipated showdown.

Zinedine Zidane’s side are hoping to ease the pain of their diabolical domestic campaign by retaining their Champions League title.

While Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich are looking to exact revenge after they were eliminated 6-3 on aggregate at the quarter-final stage by Zidane’s side last season.

It’s unlikely we’ll see the same crazy seven-goal thriller witnessed at Anfield last night, but with Robert Lewandowski and Cristiano Ronaldo on the field – anything could happen!

BAYERN MUNICH vs REAL MADRID

Zinedine Zidane has a selection dilemma ahead of Los Blancos’ Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich.

Karim Benzema has endured a below-par season in front of goal, scoring just twice in the Champions League and only five times in La Liga.

While Benzema’s movement greatly benefits his team-mates, Zidane could opt for Gareth Bale alongside Cristiano Ronaldo to provide a more direct threat at the Allianz Arena.

Elsewhere, Sergio Ramos is back from suspension and Nacho has returned to training and could be in contention for a place on the bench.

ARSENAL vs SOUTHAMPTON

Mark Hughes takes his Southampton side to the Emirates Stadium looking to secure a valuable three points in the fight to avoid relegation.

The Saints are languishing in the relegation zone, three points away from safety but with two crucial games in-hand on 17th-placed Crystal Palace.

However, this isn’t a dead-rubber for Arsenal.

The Gunners might be pinning their hopes on winning the Europa League to gain entry to the Champions League, but an unlikely challenge from Burnley means Arsene Wenger’s team need maximum points to secure a top-six finish.

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?

13:40: Yes I’m dropping Gladiator references in on a quiet Sunday afternoon.

Maximus Decimus Meridius isn’t the only entertainer around because it turns out that Arsenal have been very impressive at the Emirates Stadium this season.

The Gunners have scored 42 Premier League goals at home this season. That’s only 11 less than champions-elect Manchester City.

“If you look at our home season, people have seen good football here and I read somewhere that we were the third-best team in the league with our home results,” Arsene Wenger said.

TWITTER ROUND-UP

Sylvester: Another nightmare in offing for the Gunners; Holding is miles better than Chambers but I don’t understand why Wenger prefers the former Southampton man in defence!

Saku: Ominous! Iwobi starting… I’m having headaches so bad, it feels migraine. Still, COYG! Give me 2-0 win. More goals are welcome as well, but keep a clean sheet!

Zuku: Buzzing to see Reiss Nelson starting today. He’s gonna get a brace and a assist!

TEAM NEWS – SOUTHAMPTON

13:30: No shortage of changes in Mark Hughes’ starting XI either.

He’s made four changes from the side who were stuffed against West Ham last weekend.

Maya Yoshida, Oriel Romeu, Shane Long and James Ward-Prowse replace Maolo Gabbiadini, Nathan Redmond, Charlie Austin and Mario Lemina.

TEAM NEWS – ARSENAL

13:25: Plenty of changes for Arsene Wenger.

He’s made seven changes from the side who cruised to victory over CSKA Moscow on Thursday.

Pierre Emerick Aubameyang, Calum Chambers, Danny Welbeck, Sead Kolasinac, Alex Iwobi, Mohamed Elneny and Reiss Nelson are recalled to the starting XI.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Alexandre Lacazette, Mesut Ozil, Nacho Monreal, Laurent Koscielny, Jack Wilshere, and Aaron Ramsey are out.

The trio of Lacazette, Wilshere and Ozil are named among the substitutes.

ARSENAL vs SOUTHAMPTON

13:20: I think it’s fairly obvious to see where Arsene Wenger is pinning his hopes this season…

Arsenal XI: Cech, Bellerin, Mustafi, Chambers, Kolasinac, Elneny, Xhaka, Nelson, Welbeck, Iwobi, Aubameyang

Subs: Macey, Lacazette, Wilshere, Ozil, Holding, Monreal, Nketiah.

Everton vs Liverpool: Latest Premier League score from the Merseyside derby

Everton go head-to-head with rivals Liverpool looking to end their 16-match run without a win against their Merseyside rivals.

It is more than seven years and 16 matches since the blue half of the city was able to celebrate victory over their closest rivals, with Liverpool winning four of the last five encounters.

But the derby is the filling in the sandwich of Liverpool’s Champions League quarter-final against Manchester City and, after the Reds’ stunning 3-0 victory at Anfield on Wednesday, they head into the match with more than half an eye on the second leg.

Forward Mohamed Salah is unlikely to be risked after sustaining a groin injury against Manchester City in midweek while midfielders Emre Can (back), Adam Lallana (hamstring) and Ben Woodburn are all out.

11:55: I’ve stolen the Vardy Party slogan and applied it to Mohamed Salah. Sue me…

Anyway, Premier League leading scorer Mohamed Salah (29 goals) sustained a groin injury in the midweek Champions League win over Manchester City and manager Jurgen Klopp is not prepared to risk him.

Liverpool supporters seem pleased with the decision, but his absence means striker Danny Ings gets the nod.

Fans are not so happy about this.

Everton vs Liverpool: Latest Premier League score from the Merseyside derby

STICK OR TWIST…

11:50: Sam Allardyce has already faced Liverpool twice this season within the space of a month with an FA Cup third-round exit following a 1-1 draw at Anfield weeks earlier.

On both occasions he has tried to play a defensive game: they had just 21 per cent possession in December and 39 per cent in the cup game.

However, such a style does not sit will with Everton fans who have been vociferous in their criticism of the football they are witnessing.

With Liverpool’s injury situation, and a crucial Champions League quarter-final at Manchester City on Tuesday, there is no better time to go for the jugular but that would mean departing from his methods and opening up the game – which would risk being torn apart by the Reds’ counter-attacking.

So what I’m basically saying is: Will Allardyce give it the biggun or settle for a point? I think we all know the answer to that question.

TWITTER ROUND-UP

Chris: Merseyside Derby is one of the most overrated fixtures in English football. Liverpool are resting player’s for today’s game and will still probably win.

Affryll: James Milner should be rested! Without Emre Can and Jordan Henderson for next Tuesday, Milner’s experience and leadership is key. He is 32 for goodness sake.

Callum: Can someone explain Ragnar Klavan being preferred over Alberto Moreno to me please? Because I can’t make heads or tails of it!

11:40: Nice and simple from Sam Allardyce.

Just the one change for Everton, from the side that lost 3-1 to Manchester City last week.

Tom Davies comes in for Dominic Calvert-Lewin, while Idrissa Gueye returns from injury and is on the bench.

TEAM NEWS – LIVERPOOL

11:35: Liverpool striker Danny Ings is handed his first start under Jurgen Klopp as the boss names a stronger line-up than anticipated for the Merseyside derby at Everton.

Ings was part of a front three including Sadio Mane and Dominic Solanke, with Mohamed Salah (groin) not risked ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League quarter-final second leg at Manchester City.

Nathaniel Clyne is given his first outing of the season at right-back in a defence which also includes Virgil van Dijk, Dejan Lovren and a third centre-back Ragnar Klavan on the left.

Captain Jordan Henderson – suspended for Tuesday – James Milner and Georginio Wijnaldum are in midfield, with youngsters Conor Masterson and Curtis Jones named among the substitutes.

GOOD MORNING

11:25: Welcome to our LIVE coverage of Everton vs Liverpool from Goodison Park.

The Toffees have not beaten their Stanley Park neighbours since October 2010 when club stalwarts Tim Cahill and Mikel Arteta were on target in a 2-0 win at Goodison.

But Sam Allardyce has a golden opportunity to end their long winless run with Jurgen Klopp set to make wholesale changes ahead of Liverpool’s Champions League quarter-final second leg against Manchester City.

Liverpool have arrived at their team hotel ahead of their Merseyside derby clash against Everton

EVERTON vs LIVERPOOL

Idrissa Gueye should be fit to return for Everton. The influential midfielder missed last weekend’s defeat to Manchester City with a hamstring problem but took part in a full training session on Friday.

All Everton’s other injury problems are longer-term but defender Ashley Williams is available again after completing a three-match ban following his dismissal against Burnley.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has a raft of injuries to contend with. Forward Mohamed Salah is unlikely to be risked after sustaining a groin injury against Manchester City in midweek while midfielders Emre Can (back), Adam Lallana (hamstring) and Ben Woodburn are all out. Of his injured defenders, Ragnar Klavan, Joel Matip and Joe Gomez, only Klavan has any chance of making the squad.

Arsenal vs Stoke LIVE updates: Premier League latest score

Arsenal host struggling Stoke and head into the weekend 13 points adrift of north London rivals Tottenham, who currently occupy fourth spot.

Arsene Wenger’s side missed out on Champions League football as they finished fifth last year and a return to the top four seems all-but impossible given the current gap and the fact there are a maximum of 24 points to play for.

Instead, the Gunners could secure a return to the Champions League by following the route of Manchester United last season.

Stoke are desperate for points down the other end of the table but have lost on all nine previous visits to the Emirates.

Tommy: Stoke fans outside already singing Aaron Ramsey walks with a limp. Let’s stuff this lot!

Keith: Good to see the boy Jack Wilshere starting! Hopefully he scores Arsenal’s 6th and sends Stoke spiralling down the divisions.

James: Would love to see Stoke get anything out of the game for some Arsenal Fan TV. Hilarity but probably gonna get smashed up 4-0.

Not a lot of love for Stoke. Tony Pulis would be proud of his legacy…

Laurent Koscielny, Sead Kolasinac and Alexandre Lacazette are all named on the Arsenal bench.

GOOD AFTERNOON

12:25: Welcome to our LIVE coverage of the Premier League.

Did you all enjoy the fight?

I understand that Anthony Joshua showed incredible craft, guile and technique, but deep down I just wanted a tear up.

I suppose I can pop into the nearest Weatherspoon’s to get my fix.

Anyway, we’re at the Emirates Stadium as Arsenal entertain relegation-threatened Stoke.

Arsene Wenger’s side have a 100 per cent winning home Premier League record against the Potters. Surely this is just a formality, right?

Which stars are Arsenal most likely to sign – according to Betfair?

ARSENAL vs STOKE

Arsenal should have Jack Wilshere fit and available. Wilshere missed both England friendlies with a knee problem but is expected to be in contention to keep his place in the Arsenal midfield. Alexandre Lacazette (knee) is also ready to return having been sidelined since February 10, while Santi Cazorla (Achilles) is a long-term absentee.

Stoke could welcome back forward Mame Biram Diouf. He has missed the last two matches with a shoulder problem but is expected to return along with defender Erik Pieters, who was fined and left out of the squad for the defeat by Everton two weeks ago after breaking a curfew. Midfielder Charlie Adam begins a three-match ban following his red card against Everton while forward Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting is expected to be sidelined for several weeks by a groin problem. Ibrahim Afellay has been banished from the squad by manager Paul Lambert.

STATTLEBOX

12:10: The headline is an attempted play on Gogglebox that didn’t nearly work. Sorry folks, my humour has been sabotaged by a cancelled train this morning and a bottle of wine last night.

*Only Manchester City have a better shot conversion rate than Leicester City in the Premier League this season.

*Leicester have lost only one of their seven previous Premier League matches against Stoke – losing 1-0 at the King Power Stadium in January 2015.

*Stoke have won just twice in their last 29 visits away to Leicester in all competitions, with both victories arriving in their last 10 trips.

GREAT MINDS

12:05: Sky Sports have two of the greatest minds in football on the panel this afternoon. Jamie Redknapp and Sven-Goran Eriksson.

The pair have managed to grind out five minutes discussing whether Kasper Schmeichel should be appointed as Leicester captain.

The answer was yes. Next BIG topic, lads?

RELEGATION SCRAP

12:00: I don’t want to pile the misery on Stoke fans, but I’m gunna.

Stoke have registered only one victory since Christmas and have scored just five times in those eight Premier League games.

Lambert is seeking some attacking firepower ahead of the trip to Leicester, where he will be without 37-year-old Peter Crouch due to injury.

That’s led to a senior call-up for teenage striker Tyrese Campbell, the son of ex-Arsenal and Everton forward Kevin Campbell, after his hat-trick for the under-23s last weekend piqued Lambert’s interest.

Michael: Don’t understand dropping Dragovic at all. He’s done nothing wrong. Very unfair. Plus, Silva in for James I’d have expected.

David: Why are we not starting Silva? His passing and his ability to control the play is something we need! Also Chilwell and Gray need to improve massively today.

Akron: Is it just me or Kostas Stafylidis does sound like the name for a disease? No disrespect to the player.

Just you Akron, just you…

11:40: Claude Puel makes four changes from the side who were spanked by Manchester City.

Aleksandar Dragovic, who’s quite unlucky to be dropped, is replaced by captain Wes Morgan in defence.

Elsewhere Riyad Mahrez is back which means Fousseni Diabate has to settle for a place on the bench.

Danny Simpson and Demarai Gray return in place of Christian Fuchs and Adrien Silva.

Leicester skipper Wes Morgan (hamstring) could make his first Premier League appearance since New Year’s Day after coming through 90 minutes unscathed in last weekend’s 1-0 FA Cup win over Sheffield United.

Shinji Okazaki will miss out once again with a knee injury which has sidelined him for three weeks, but is expected to return to full training next week.

Peter Crouch remains sidelined after sitting out the 1-1 draw with Brighton last time out due to an ankle infection.

Potters boss Paul Lambert is considering bringing 18-year-old forward Tyrese Campbell into the matchday squad. Bruno Martins Indi is set to be part of the 18 after missing the last three games, but Stephen Ireland (calf) is still unavailable.

WELCOME

18:30: Welcome to our LIVE coverage of the Champions League.

Manchester United’s Premier League rivals (or comrades in this context) have all successfully navigated their way through their opening legs.

Now it’s time for Jose Mourinho’s side to strut their stuff on the European stage.

The Red Devils have lost only one of their previous eight matches in Spain, and English sides are unbeaten in all seven meetings with Spanish teams in the Champions League so far this season.

Easy win, right?

SEVILLA vs MANCHESTER UNITED – TEAM NEWS

Paul Pogba is in the squad for Manchester United’s Champions League last 16 clash at Sevilla after illness.

The France international missed Saturday’s FA Cup win at Huddersfield but travelled to Spain, although Marouane Fellaini, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Daley Blind, Marcos Rojo and Phil Jones remain absent.

Ander Herrera, Marcus Rashford and Antonio Valencia were on the plane after recovering from issues of their own, while David De Gea is set to be restored in goal after being rested.

Provisional squad: De Gea, Romero, Pereira, Valencia, Darmian, Shaw, Young, Lindelof, Smalling, Bailly, Matic, Carrick, Pogba, McTominay, Herrera, Mata, Lingard, Sanchez, Rashford, Martial, Lukaku.

Chelsea vs Barcelona LIVE: Express Sport brings you the latest Champions League team news, line-ups and goal updates from Stamford Bridge

TEAM NEWS – BARCELONA

18:50: You can probably tell that Ernesto Valverde has kept things simple and named an unchanged line-up from Saturday’s win over Eibar.

Philippe Coutinho is cup-tied, while there’s space on the bench for Ousmane Dembele and former Arsenal defender Thomas Vermaelen.

CHELSEA XI

18:45: And here is Chelsea’s starting XI. Antonio Conte has opted to deploy Eden Hazard as a false nine. Not too sure about that myself…

Chelsea XI: Courtois; Rudiger, Christensen, Azpilicueta, Moses, Fabregas, Kante, Alonso, Willian, Hazard, Pedro.

WELCOME DISTRACTION

18:40: While we await Antonio Conte’s selection… Chelsea have won just four of their previous 12 matches across all competitions leading into this mammoth meeting.

Conte’s position has been under constant scrutiny as they were beaten by Bournemouth and Watford by an aggregate scoreline of 7-1.

Chelsea also lost to Arsenal in the semi-final of the Carabao Cup but warmed up for Barcelona with straightforward wins over Premier League bottom side West Brom and Championship strugglers Hull.

It’ll be a different proposition tonight but will give the Chelsea players a chance to address their patchy form in the most emphatic of ways.

BARCELONA XI

18:35: The Barcelona starting XI has arrived folks. Not seeing too many weaknesses. Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez both start.

Barcelona XI: Ter Stegen, Sergi Roberto, Pique, Umtiti, Alba, Busquets, Paulinho, Rakitic, Iniesta, Messi, Suarez.

Subs: Cillessen, Denis Suarez, Dembele, Digne, Andre Gomes, Aleix Vidal, Vermaelen.

EVENING

18:25: Welcome to our LIVE coverage of the Champions League.

It’s a brisk eight degrees in West London this evening as Chelsea welcome Barcelona to Stamford Bridge.

Not quite a cold Tuesday night in Stoke but not far off for the visiting Catalan giants.

I’m expecting gloves and snoods aplenty…

Antonio Conte’s side have been under pressure of late while Ernesto Valverde’s Barca have lost just once since the Champions League group stages concluded in early December.

Anyway, enough waffle from me – let’s get stuck in!

CHELSEA vs BARCELONA – TEAM NEWS

Antonio Conte has four injury worries ahead of Chelsea’s Champions League clash with Barcelona.

David Luiz is a doubt in defence, while midfield duo Tiemoue Bakayoko and Ross Barkley are also uncertain to be fit.

Marcos Alonso has returned to training after missing several games with a hamstring problem, but it is unclear whether he will displace Emerson Palmieri from the starting XI.

Alvaro Morata is set to lead the line – with Eden Hazard drifting behind – for the big clash at Stamford Bridge.
