Meanwhile, Arsenal on Saturday, January 25, secured a narrow win over Wolves in their Premier League match as they continue their chase.
The Gunners headed into the game on the back of a 2-2 draw against Aston Villa at the weekend, having surrendered a two-goal lead.
However, they were able to put the draw behind them and got a 1-0 victory over struggling Wolves.
The Wolves team were unchanged from their 3-1 defeat at Chelsea on Monday, while Mikel Arteta made five changes from Arsenal's 3-0 Champions League win over Dinamo Zagreb in mid-week.
William Saliba and Ethan Nwaneri returned for the Gunner, with Martin Odegaard and Mikel Merino missing from the squad.

In a different Fixture, Manchester City extended their unbeaten run to six Premier League games with an impressive 3-1 win over Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium.
Pep Guardiola said his men had to respond after their disappointing collapse against PSG in midweek, and they did it in style, defeating Enzo Maresca's men 3-1 to climb into the top four.
The pre-match anticipation was stoked by Guardiola's decision to hand starts to new signings Omar Marmoush and Abdukodir Khusanov, the first Uzbekistani player to feature in the Premier League.
However, Khusanov's calamitous error in the third minute allowed Chelsea to take the lead. A looping ball bounced over his head, and his weak header fell into the path of Nicolas Jackson, who laid off for Noni Madueke to score into an empty net.
City regained their composure and ended the half on top. Joško Gvardiol capitalized on a well-timed run by Matheus Nunes, sweeping home the equalizer.
In the second half, Erling Haaland chipped a poorly positioned Robert Sánchez to give City the lead. That was Sanchez's 5th error leading to goal in the Premier League this season, and perhaps the most costly.
Haaland then showed strength to hold off his marker, laying off the ball for Phil Foden to slot home his sixth goal in four Premier League appearances, sealing the win for City.
The result lifts Manchester City to fourth, while Chelsea drop to sixth, with just one win in their last 7 league games.

Cody Gakpo was the star of the show as Liverpool ran riot against Ipswich at Anfield.

Ipswich's chances were dampened further when Wes Burns suffered a serious-looking knee injury and was stretchered off. The visitors' woes continued as Mohamed Salah doubled Liverpool's advantage with a sublime finish from a Cody Gakpo cross.
Gakpo turned home a rebound from Szoboszlai's initial effort to make it 3-0 on the stroke of halftime, becoming the third Dutchman to score in five successive Premier League home games.
After the break, Ipswich focused on damage limitation, but Liverpool added a fourth goal when Trent Alexander-Arnold's cross picked out Gakpo, who headed home his eighth Premier League goal of the campaign.
