The UEFA Champions League's final league phase round of the year takes place this week, and we have some blockbusters to enjoy. This is your one-stop shop for all the team news, live updates and scores.

17:40 CET - There is one 18:45 CET kick-off today, and that is between German champions Bayern Munich and Portuguese champions Sporting, in Bavaria.

Both sides are currently in the top eight as it stands, meaning that there will be quality on show, and they will want to consolidate those placings. 

Bayern haven't lost a match at home since April, however, so Sporting will have their work cut out for them. Check out the starting lineups below!

17:22 CET - At half-time in today's very early game over in Kazakhstan, it is still goalless between Kairat Almaty and Olympiacos

Both sides really need a win today. In fact, neither has won a league phase match so far this season, with Kairat managing just one draw and Olympiacos just two points. Plenty on the line in the second half, then.
