Now or never for PSV as Bayern come to town

PSV Eindhoven need at least a draw to maintain their fading hopes of progress from UEFA Champions League Group D as they host FC Bayern München on matchday four.

• PSV's search for a first victory continued as they went down 4-1 in Munich on matchday three, with Thomas Müller, Joshua Kimmich, Robert Lewandowski and Arjen Robben all scoring for the home side. Luciano Narsingh got the PSV goal.

• Second in Group D, Bayern will secure qualification to the last 16 if they beat PSV and Club Atlético de Madrid avoid defeat against FC Rostov in the group's other fixture.
