While Depor will travel to Greece with a full and healthy squad, AEK will be without several key players as a result of the 2-2 against Iraklis on Saturday. Central defender Kofi Ambosah, left back Michalis Kasapis together with midfield players Vasilis Lakis and Milen Petkov are definitely out, while right back Vasilis Borbokis and left winger Grigoris Georgatos are both listed as doubtful.
PROBABLES
AEK Athens : Hiotis, Borbokis, Kapsis, Kostenoglou, Georgeas, Zagorakis, Katsouranis, Maladenis, Tsiartas, Ivic or Lymperopoulos, Okkas
Deportivo La Coruna : Molina, Pablo, Andrade, Cesar, Romero, Sergio, Silva, Valeron, Tristan, Luque, Pandiani.
Arsenal: Wenger must decide whether to keep faith with Kolo Toure, or bring in Martin Keown to partner Sol Campbell. Freddie Ljungberg and Gilberto will come back into the side, while Sylvain Wiltord is likely to get the nod ahead of Dennis Bergkamp in attack.
Inter: Cuper must do without the injured Christian Vieri and Alvaro Recoba. Kily Gonzalez is set to get a start on the left, with Julio Cruz partnering Oba Martins in attack.
PROBABLE LINE-UPS
ARSENAL (4-4-2): LEHMANN; LAUREN, CAMPBELL, KEOWN OR TOURE, COLE; LJUNGBERG, VIEIRA, GILBERTO, PIRES; WILTORD, HENRY

LATEST TEAM NEWS
Nicola Legrottaglie will be the only starter Lippi will have to do without against Galatasaray, and this will allow Ciro Ferrara to start alongside Pablo Montero in the middle of Juve's defensive line. David Trezeguet was also doubtful for this clash, but his injury fears disappeared following the successful fitness test he held on Tuesday. With his French striker available, Lippi is expected to play a 4-4-2, with Del Piero alongside Trez. The bench looms once again for out-of-favour Edgar Davids.
On his part, Gala coach Fatih Terim has to deal with a packed infirmary as Maboula Lukunku, Umit Karan, and Orhan Ak are all sidelined through injury. Serie A reject Hakan Sukur is expected to function as the team's lone striker in a 4-4-1-1 formation.
PROBABLE LINE-UPS
JUVENTUS (4-4-2): 1 Buffon, 21 Thuram, 2 Ferrara, 4 Montero, 19 Zambrotta, 16 Camoranesi, 3 Tacchinardi, 18 Appiah, 11 Nedved, 10 Del Piero, 17 Trezeguet.
GALATASARAY (4-4-1-1): 1 Mondragon, 29 Prates, 5 De Boer, 3 Bulent, Hakan Unsal, 34 Sabri, 8 Batista, 20 Volkan, 67 Ergun, 11 Hasan Sas, 10 Hakan Sukur.
Bayern Munich vs Celtic - 17/09/03 Head2Head
Bayern Munich missed the chance to go top of the Bundesliga at the weekend when they were surprisingly beaten 3-2 away by VfL Wolfsburg. It was Bayern's first loss of the season which left them in third place on 10 points, two points behind leaders Bayer Leverkusen.
This time around, they will have a chance to make a better impact than last year's Champions League competition with new additions like Roy Makaay from Deportivo and Martin Demichelis.
Celtic have won all of their last six, including home and away legs against MTK in the Champions League qualifying round, and four successive Scottish League games. The most recent against Dundee which they won by an only goal coming from Bobo Balde in the 7th minute.
Bayern Munich's Michael Ballack and Claudio Pizarro have resumed training and will undergo a late fitness for this matchup. Zé Roberto is also another player that will have to wait for a late fitness due to a knee injury.
Alexander Zickler, Sebastian Deisler and Jens Jeremies are all out with shin, torn muscle and knee injury respectively.
Possible Lineups : Kahn, Sagnol, Kovac, Linke, Lizarazu, Hargreaves, Scholl, Ballack, Salihamidzic, Makaay, Pizarro.
Celtic will be without Paul Lambert after he picked up an ankle injury over the weekend, the same goes for Stephen Crainey who sustained a knee injury. Joos Valgaeren, Johan Mjallby and Ulrik Larssen are all still out recovering.
Possible Lineups : Douglas, Agathe, Bolde, Vargha, McNamamara, Miller, Petrov, Lennon, Thompson, Sutton, Larsson.

) AEK Aten – Deportivo La Coruña
Aten gör sin första match i Champions League på åtta år. Men tradition finns. Däremot saknar man viktiga spelare genom skador på backarna Mihalis Kapsis och Kofi Amponsah medan mittfältsstjärnan Grigorios Georgatos är tveksam till spel. Deportivo skadefria.
62) Arsenal – Inter
Arsenal hoppas på första hemmasegern i Champions League på sex matcher. Managern Arsene Wengers störst bekymmer då var försvaret. Nu är det osäkert om Kolo Toure eller Martin Keown får börja i mittförsvaret. Vem som än får förtroendet slipper tampas med Inters Christian Vieri, som går skadad. När även Alvaro Recoba saknas väntas det italienska anfallet bestå av Julio Cruz och tonåringen Obafemi Martins.
63) Bayern München – Celtic
Trycket är stort på Bayern München i hemmapremiären i Champions League. Trots att både spelmotorn Michael Ballack och anfallaren Claudio Pizarro vilade i senaste ligamatchen talar mycket för att de spelare nu. Däremot missar mittfältarna Jens Jeremies och Sebastian Deisler matchen liksom Ytterbacken Willy Sagnol och yttermittfältaren Zé Roberto. Men även Celtic slåss med skador. Johan Mjällby, Ulrik Laursen, Stephen Crainey missar alla matchen medan belgiske backen Joos Valgaeren fortfarande hoppas på spel.
Celtics tränare Martin O’Neill funderar på att låta en matchotränad John Hartson spela med Henrik Larsson strax bakom sig eller om Larsson och Chris Sutton ska bilda anfall.
64) Dynamo Kiev – Lokomotiv Moskva
Trots en långlivad rivalitet mellan storklubbarna från forna Sovjetunionen har klubbarna aldrig mötts i Europacupspel tidigare. Anfallaren Winston Parks saknas hos gästerna. Hemmalaget har försvarsproblem och kan tvingas avvara alla i trion Andrej Husin, Olexandr Holovko och Roberto Nanni.
65) Juventus – Galatasaray
Tränarna Lippi och Terim har utbytt artighetsfraser och tror på offensiv fotboll. Juventus mittback Nicola Legrottaglie missar matchen precis som Fabrizio Miccoli, Antonio Contem Gianluca Pessotto och Marcelo Zalayeta, men anfallsstjärnan David Trezeguet är spelklar igen liksom Stephen Appiah, Mauro Camoranesi och Edgar Davids. Galatasaray saknar Orhan Ak, João Batista, Ali Lukunku och Ümit Karan och är i dålig form.
66) Lyon – Anderlecht
Lyon är skadefria, så när som på tveksamheter kring mittfältssjärnan Juninhos medverkan och ställs mot Pär Zetterbergs och Christian Wilhelmssons Anderlecht. Zetterbergs lag är i kanonform efter att ha krossat Lokeren med 6-0 i ligan och saknar i värsta fall endast backen Olivier Doll.
67) PSV Eindhoven – Monaco
PSV söker revansch för fjolåret men har tunga skador på Kasper Bögelund och Johann Vogel medan det är frågetecken för Ji-Sung Park. Monaco har gott om erfarenhet från turneringen och är skadefria.
6 Real Sociedad – Olympiakos
Baskiska Real Sociedad gör debut i sammanhanget och hoppas att styrkan på hemmaplan ska bära långt. Skyttekungen Nihat Kahveci är dock osäker på spel. Däremot är spanske landslagsmannen Xabi Alonso tillbaka på mittfältet. Grekerna har värre skadeproblem: målvakten Dimitrios Eleftheropoulos, backarna Paraskevas Antzas och Christos Patsatzoglou samt anfallaren Marcin Kuzba missar alla matchen.

Derby v Watford
Derby manager George Burley is hoping a trio of injured players all pull through as the Rams look to avoid a club record fifth successive home defeat.
Michael Johnson (calf), Luciano Zavagno (dead leg) and Paul Boertien (back) all suffered knocks in the Rams first win of the season at Walsall.
Burely said: "Michael is having a bit of treatment but is not a problem.
"Luciano and Paul both missed training yesterday but have still got a chance of being ready for the Watford game."
Watford have midfielder Neal Ardley back in contention following suspension.
Ardley was sent off for the first time in his career against Gillingham and missed the win over the Lions.
Heidar Helguson is out for at least two months with a knee ligament injury, and Micah Hyde is doubtful with a hamstring problem.
But striker Danny Webber is expected to be fit despite being stamped on by Millwall's Kevin Muscat at the weekend.
Boston v Cambridge
Boston manager Neil Thompson is preparing to welcome back four key players ahead of the visit of Cambridge United.
Tom Bennett (groin), Mark Angel (knee) and Daryl Sutch (hamstring) have all trained this week and are in contention for at least a place on the bench.
Ben Chapman (calf) and Paul Ellender (ankle) suffered no ill-effects from their comebacks at the weekend.
Matt Hocking will also be available again for Boston after serving a one-match suspension.
Cambridge are likely to be without Shane Tudor after he was withdrawn from Saturday's draw with Torquay with chest problems.
Tudor was a half-time substitute for Daniel Chillingworth but had to be taken off 12 minutes from the end after suffering breathing difficulties.
Manager John Taylor told the club's website: "Shane had a problem with his chest and we haven't diagnosed it yet so he'll probably be missing."
On the positive side David Bridges and Warren Goodhind are both close to 100% again after ankle injuries and have put themselves in contention for a starting spot.(BBC, Soccerage, SoccerSensei, Svenska Spel)
