Manchester United will look to make it two wins out of two in Group H tonight as their Champions League campaign continues with another tough opponent in RB Leipzig.
United are making a habit of famous victories in Paris, and last week's 2-1 victory over PSG in France - courtesy of another late Marcus Rashford winner - stands the Red Devils in good stead.
But Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be well aware that Group H is something of a 'group of death', and Julian Nagelsmann's RB Leipzig head to Old Trafford on Wednesday night in search of victory.
Young prodigy Nagelsmann guided the German club to the Champions League semi-finals last season, so United cannot rest on their laurels after one impressive win - especially after drawing a blank against Chelsea.
Date, time and venue
Manchester United vs RB Leipzig is scheduled for an 8pm GMT kick-off tonight (Wednesday, October 28, 2020).
The match will be behind closed doors at Old Trafford with no fans due to be present due to government guidelines regarding coronavirus.

TV channel: The match will be televised live on BT Sport 2, with coverage starting from 7pm.

Prediction: Man United 1-1 RB Leipzig
Solskjaer's side deserved their win against PSG, though Leipzig will surely look to take the game to a team that have yet to win at home this season.
United would probably privately have gladly taken four points from their opening two games, and a draw could be on the cards if neither team decides to open things up too early.
Head to head (h2h) history and results
