Thursday’s action is headlined by Manchester United, who host Saint-Etienne in a clash of Pogba brothers. Man United star midfielder Paul Pogba is set to go head-to-head with his brother, Florentin, who is expected to start in the center of the Saint-Etienne defense. Fellow Premier League contender Tottenham is also in action, visiting Belgian side Gent.

Fabian Johnson and Borussai Monchengladbach are also in action on Thursday as the German side collides with a team boasting an American of their own. Josh Perez hasn’t recently cracked Fiorentina’s lineup, but the U.S. youth international will hope to get involved in Thursday’s clash in Germany.

Elsewhere, Villarreal takes on Roma, AZ Alkmaar hosts Lyon and Celta Vigo faces off with Ukrainian power Shakhtar Donetsk.
