The Uefa Champions League is back this week as the league phase of Europe's premier club competition reaches matchday four.
Four teams boast 100 per cent records – Paris Saint-Germain, Aston Villa, Liverpool and Real Madrid – with the French side looking in good shape as they bid for a third successive title.
At the other end of the table, Porto, Lille and Slovan Bratislava have yet to secure a single point from three matches.
