So… who are the commentators and pundits on TNT Sports this week?

We're back on the continent once again, as the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League all continue: Aston Villa visit Barcelona, Liverpool are in Istanbul and the Gunners take Prague.

If you've not got the HBO Max app yet, you'll need to sort that ahead of watching on TNT Sports.

If you're away from home this week and worried about being able to access your usual coverage, a VPN could be exactly the answer you're looking for.

FourFourTwo’s colleagues TechRadar are experts in this field, and they reckon NordVPN is the best VPN provider on the market.
