Crisis. What crisis? After a summer of turmoil, humiliation in the transfer market and a revolt against the board, Barcelona are back to doing what they do best: winning games of football.

While the departure of Neymar and failure to land the likes of Philippe Coutinho and Jean-Michael Seri, as well as the ongoing contract sagas surrounding Leo Messi and Andres Iniesta, have cast the club in a bad light, there is no doubt new manager Ernesto Valverde has enjoyed a good start to his reign - on the pitch at least.

Barca have won their first three La Liga games, scoring nine and conceding none, and they already sit four points clear of bitter rivals Real Madrid - a side many rate as the best in Europe.

It's a big game for...

Ousmane Dembele. Neymar was Barcelona's undoubted star of the Champions League last season, almost single-handedly turning the round of 16 tie against PSG around before then joining the club this summer. Can the young Frenchman Barca replaced him with live up to the hype? Tuesday night's game will be a big test for the winger after a bit-part debut against Espanyol at the weekend. The Camp Nou expects.

Player to watch...

Paulo Dybala. Tipped as a long-term replacement for Messi at both Barcelona and in the Argentina national team, but yet another player the Camp Nou hierarchy failed to land this summer. Quite brilliant in Juve's run to the final last season, including an imperious display when these two sides met in Turin when he scored a brace. Another performance like that and Barca fans will be imploring the club to sign him.

Let's have a more in-depth look at the teams selected at Old Trafford...

...where Jose Mourinho makes six changes to the side that started the 2-2 draw at Stoke in the Premier League on Saturday evening. The back-four has an entirely new look; Eric Bailly and Phil Jones are suspended from European competition so Victor Lindelof and Chris Smalling come into the centre while Matteo Darmian and Antonio Valencia drop to bench to allow Daley Blind and Ashley Young - his first appearance in 131 days - to feature on the flanks. Juan Mata replaces Ander Herrera in midfield as Anthony Martial takes over from Marcus Rashford further forward. Paul Pogba captains the Red Devils for the first time.

Manchester United: De Gea, Young, Lindelof, Smalling, Blind, Pogba, Matic, Mata, Mkhitaryan, Martial, Lukaku

Subs: Romero, Lingard, Carrick, Rashford, Valencia, Fellaini, Darmian

Basel: Vacilik, Akanji, Suchy, Balanta, Lang, Xhaka, Zuffi, Riveros, Steffen, Van Wolfswinkel, Elyounoussi

Subs: Salvi, Gaber, Fransson, Oberlin, Schmid, Bua, Calla

Referee: Ruddy Buquet (France)

Paul Pogba: captains Manchester United this evening.

FC Basel were not the opponents the Manchester United manager wanted to welcome to Old Trafford as the Red Devils prepare for their return to Europe's elite club competition.

Also making a return to the Champions League this evening are Premier League winners Chelsea. History suggests that their opponents at Stamford Bridge, Azerbaijan minnows Qarabag, could well be in for a testing evening.

What does it mean for Manchester United to back in the Champions League, Jose Mourinho is asked prior to kick-off. Stony-faced as ever, The Special One replies with just three words.

Back to normality.

This is your five-minute warning.

The Champions League returns in just a few moment.

Been wondering who will be attempting to keep the €222 million man, Neymar, quiet at Parkhead this evening?

It's the 18-year-old, former Queens Park loanee Anthony Ralston. Good luck, young man.

The Champions League theme tune pumps out at Old Trafford for the first time since November 2015. It's been too long.

Meanwhile, heavy rain falls over the stadium for the first time since...erm...yesterday?

KICK-OFF: Man Utd 0 Basel 0: The weather is not enough to dampen spirits as Henrikh Mkhitaryan gets us going for the evening. There may be a surprising number of empty seats inside Old Trafford but those who have shown up nearly had something to celebrate as Romelu Lukaku took aim inside the box. The Belgian's fierce drive was blocked by a brave Basel defender.

2 mins: GOAL! OLYMPIAKOS 0 SPORTING LISBON 1:

There's been an early goal in Greece where Sporting Lisbon have taken the lead through Seydou Doumbia. The Roma loanee was first to Marcos Acuna's deep free-kick to head the Portuguese outfit in front in Group D.

5 mins: GOAL! CHELSEA 1 QARABAG 0:

And now Chelsea lead! it's a goal had been coming as the London side bombarded Qarabag from kick-off, Pedro powering home after Willian had fed the ball back to him from a well-worked corner.
