Pep Guardiola's Manchester City face a huge trip to Paris this midweek

- Liverpool top the standings with a perfect record of six wins from six
- Just six points separate Arsenal in third and Stuttgart in 26th
- Paris Saint-Germain vs Manchester City is the standout fixture of the week

The Champions League enters uncharted territory this week, as for the first time there will be a matchday seven taking place, with all 36 teams set to be in action across Tuesday and Wednesday.

We have provided a score prediction for each of the 18 fixtures, as teams jostle for positions ahead of next week's crucial final matchday of the league phase.

Atalanta vs Sturm Graz (Tuesday, 5.45pm)

Atalanta have stuttered domestically of late but they should have too much for a Sturm Graz side that have lost five of their six league phase games and have not played competitively for over a month.

Score prediction: Atalanta 4-1 Sturm Graz

Monaco vs Aston Villa (Tuesday, 5.45pm)

Aston Villa are well placed for a top-eight finish and may be heading to Monaco at the right time, with the hosts having gone four matches without a win across all competitions since the turn of the year.

Score prediction: Monaco 1-2 Aston Villa

Atletico Madrid vs Bayer Leverkusen (Tuesday, 8pm)

Atletico Madrid's 15-match winning run was ended by Leganes at the weekend and they may struggle to beat in-form Bayer Leverkusen, who have won 11 on the bounce, although a draw may not be the worst result for these two high-quality sides.

Score prediction: Atletico Madrid 1-1 Bayer Leverkusen

Benfica vs Barcelona (Tuesday, 8pm)

Barcelona are the leading scorers in this season's Champions League and have won five on the bounce in the competition since losing to Monaco on matchday one. They can get the better of Benfica it what could prove an entertaining contest

Score prediction: Benfica 1-3 Barcelona

Bologna vs Borussia Dortmund (Tuesday, 8pm)

Bologna may be all but out of contention to reach the knockout stages, but their form has improved and they can cause a mini upset by beating poor travellers Borussia Dortmund, who have lost all three of their matches since returning from the Bundesliga's winter break.

Score prediction: Bologna 2-1 Borussia Dortmund

Club Brugge vs Juventus (Tuesday, 8pm)

Juventus are draw specialists in Serie A and they may have to settle for a share of the spoils when they visit in-form Club Brugge, who are unbeaten in their last 18 matches.

Score prediction: Club Brugge 1-1 Juventus

Liverpool vs Lille (Tuesday, 8pm)

Arne Slot's Liverpool currently top the league phase standings

Liverpool are top of the standings with a perfect record of six wins from six, but they may have to work hard to see off in-form Lille, who have already beaten both Real and Atletico Madrid in this season's competition.

Score prediction: Liverpool 1-0 Lille

Crvena zvezda vs PSV (Tuesday, 8pm) 

After suffering just a third Eredivisie defeat of the season last time out, PSV will be keen to bounce back quickly, but they may struggle to overcome a Crvena zvezda side that beat Stuttgart 5-1 in their last Champions League home fixture.

Score prediction: Crvena zvezda 2-2 PSV

Slovan Bratislava vs Stuttgart (Tuesday, 8pm)

Slovan Bratislava are six defeats from six in this season's competition and have conceded three or more goals in five of those games. A similar heavy loss could be on the cards when Stuttgart head to the Slovakian capital.

Score prediction: Slovan Bratislava 1-4 Stuttgart

RB Leipzig vs Sporting CP (Wednesday, 5.45pm)

RB Leipzig have surprisingly lost all six of their matches in the Champions League this season, but they could at least avoid defeat when Sporting CP visit, while a point would not be the worst result for Rui Borges' visitors.

Score prediction: RB Leipzig 2-2 Sporting CP

Shakhtar Donetsk vs Brest (Wednesday, 5.45pm)

Brest have exceeded expectations in their first Champions League campaign, but with a place in the knockout stages all but guaranteed, they may come unstuck against Shakhtar Donetsk, who must win to keep their hopes of advancing alive.

Score prediction: Shakhtar Donetsk 1-0 Brest

AC Milan vs Girona (Wednesday, 8pm)

AC Milan have won their last four Champions League games but have conceded in all of them. That pattern could continue against a Girona side that have lost by the odd goal in four of their six games in this season's competition.

Score prediction: AC Milan 2-1 Girona

Arsenal vs Dinamo Zagreb (Wednesday, 8pm)

Arsenal may be struggling for wins domestically of late, but they have triumphed to nil in all three of their Champions League fixtures at the Emirates Stadium this season, a pattern that can continue when Dinamo Zagreb visit north London.

Score prediction: Arsenal 4-0 Dinamo Zagreb

Celtic vs Young Boys (Wednesday, 8pm)

Brendan Rodgers' Celtic are well placed to reach the knockout stages
Brendan Rodgers' Celtic are well placed to reach the knockout stages

Celtic have not lost at home in any competition for 13 months and have taken seven points from a possible nine in Champions League home matches this season. They should prove too strong for pointless Young Boys.

Score prediction: Celtic 3-1 Young Boys

Feyenoord vs Bayern Munich (Wednesday, 8pm)

There is never a good time to be facing Bayern Munich, but Feyenoord will head into this game having taken just one point from their last three Eredivisie matches and they could be on the receiving end of a heavy defeat against the free-scoring Bavarians.

Score prediction: Feyenoord 1-5 Bayern Munich

Paris Saint-Germain vs Manchester City (Wednesday, 8pm)

These two European heavyweights are by no means guaranteed their places in the knockout stages and, with so much at stake, this could prove a tense game, but Manchester City may just about have enough to edge it.

Score prediction: Paris Saint-Germain 0-1 Manchester City

Real Madrid vs FC Salzburg (Wednesday, 8pm)

Real Madrid have been scoring goals freely of late and they could produce another big score when FC Salzburg head to the Bernabeu, with the visitors having been struggling for form both domestically and in Europe all season.

Score prediction: Real Madrid 4-0 FC Salzburg

Sparta Prague vs Inter Milan (Wednesday, 8pm)

Inter Milan have only conceded once in this season's Champions League but they have also scored just seven times. While they should beat Sparta Prague, that kind of record suggests this may not be a classic.

Score prediction: Sparta Prague 0-1 Inter Milan
