Shakhtar Donetsk vs Hoffenheim LIVE: Uefa Champions League 2018-19 latest score, goals, how to watch on TV

Shakhtar Donetsk vs Hoffenheim
Uefa Champions League 2018/19
Venue: Metalist Oblast Sports Complex
Kick-off: 5:55pm BST

Manchester City's Group F opponents kick off their Champions League campaigns as Shakhtar host Hoffenheim tonight.

While Pep Guardiola's City may be expected to win the group comfortably, second place will most certainly be up for grabs - and this game could go a long way to deciding a place in the knockout stages.

It is a proud night for Hoffenheim, who make their debut in the competition. Club captain Kevin Vogt told Uefa: "[It is] something historic, not just for our club but for the entire region, and everyone is looking forward to it. The Champions League is something very special."

Britain’s next political earthquake could utterly destroy the Tories
Make no mistake, British politics is feeling the early tremors of an earthquake – one that could prove even more of a spectacular leveller than the crumbling of the Red Wall.
