Four Champions League tips four matchday four

Matchday four of the UEFA Champions League is here.

With the group stage heating up, this week's matches have plenty riding on them.

So let's try and take some cash from the bookies this week.

5/1 Manchester City to score three or more first half goals

City can't stop scoring goals. They have scored the most in the league and have the best goal difference in the division.

Pep Guardiola will want to get this one wrapped up ASAP. Haaland will want to bag a couple of goals. This one should be over at half-time and City should be well ahead.

4/1 Raheem Sterling to score and Chelsea to win

Chelsea are clicking under Graham Potter and are in great form. The new Blues boss is unbeaten in his four games in charge and his side has won three in a row.

3-0 wins over AC Milan and Wolves in the space of a week have Chelsea full of confidence. Milan are missing some big players still and Chelsea are hot favourites.

Sterling will be called upon to get the goals for Chelsea. Mason Mount's goals have dried up, Kai Havertz is streaky and Sterling is Chelsea's only proper goalscorer. If Chelsea win, Sterling should score.

6/1 Inter Milan to beat Barcelona

Neither of these sides are great. Barcelona have lost two of their first three games, while Inter were on the verge of sacking manager Simone Inzaghi before last weeks win over Barca.

Xavi needs a win. If Barca lose, they'll likely not make it through to the knockout stages. Don't be surprised if Inter pull off a typical Italian masterclass and catch the Catalan side cold.

6/1 Richarlison first goal scorer

With Dejan Kulusevski injured and Heung Min Son struggling for form, Richarlison should start. The Brazilian and Harry Kane have forged a good connection with each other already and have combined to good effect on more than one occasion this term.

Richarlison came to Spurs' rescue in the Champions League at home to over Marseille last month. At 6/1, we make him a good bet to be the first goalscorer.
