UEFA Cup Group Play Starts Tuesday And Wednesday

 Group play kicks off tomorrow with a few notable matches including Bayern Munich at the Jurgen Klopp helmed Arsenal. A Messi-less Barcelona play BATE Boris in Minsk and Chelsea travel to Kyiv, Ukraine to play Dynamo-Kiev. All these matches start at 2:45PM EST.
 The Bayern-Arsenal match is a bit intriguing with Jurgen Klopp taking over as manager of Arsenal. He is quite familiar with Bayern from his previous position with Borussia Dortmund.
 The Barcelona game may be closer than expected due to the absence of Messi, but Neymar has been lights out recently and I don't foresee that changing.
 Wednesday will see another solid group of matches highlighted by Real Madrid at Paris Saint-Germain. Other matches include Manchester United at CSKA Moscow, Manchester City hosting Sevilla FC, and the UEFA Cup Championship runner up Juventus hosting Borussia Monchengladbach. All of Wednesdays matches start at 2:45PM EST also.
 Several matches can be seen on the FOX Sports Network including the regional channels.
