Champions League Preview: Marseille - Borussia Dortmund
Borussia Dortmund must win at managerless Marseille to be sure of reaching the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League.
Jurgen Klopp's men – runners-up to Bayern Munich last season – currently sit second in Group F courtesy of their superior head-to-head record against Napoli.
Yet any slip up at the Stade Velodrome would give the Italian side, who host Arsenal on matchday six, an opportunity to qualify.
Victory will guarantee Dortmund's progression as they also have the edge over Arsenal, who currently hold a three-point cushion at the top of the group, when it comes to meetings between the two.

Premier League : Manchester United v Chelsea
Manchester United manager David Moyes will take charge of his first home Premier League fixture at Old Trafford against Chelsea on Monday. Moyes saw his side post an excellent 4-1 win on the opening day of the season at Swansea City last weekend, with Robin van Persie and Danny Welbeck scoring doubles for the Premier League champions.
But they are likely to face a sterner test against Jose Mourinho's Chelsea, who started their campaign with consecutive home wins against Hull City and Aston Villa.
Since being confirmed as Alex Ferguson's successor, Moyes has had to wait more than 100 days for his first competitive fixture in front of the club's supporters.
And although it is a match United will ent
