Manchester United, hit hard by injuries and missing England striker Wayne Rooney through suspension, are at home to Benfica, while Group D rivals Lille play Villarreal in Paris's Stade de France as their stadium does not meet UEFA safety requirements.

Bayern Munich should follow up their win over Rapid Vienna with another against Club Bruges in Group A.

Bayern lost their 15-match winning run in a 2-0 defeat by Hamburg SV on Saturday but they came through with no new injury problems. Michael Ballack should be available to run the midfield in the first Champions League match at their impressive new World Cup stadium.
