Summary
Steve Crossman is joined by Charlie Adam, Pat Nevin and Ian Dennis as Liverpool, Newcastle & Chelsea all win. It was a 3-0 win for Newcastle against PSV Eindhoven, however there's concern for captain Bruno Guimaraes who hobbled off with an ankle injury in the first half.
Liverpool cruised past Marseille 3-0 to put themselves in a strong position to finish in the top eight on a night where Mohamed Salah returned to the starting line-up.
And Chelsea beat Pafos 1-0 to keep their hopes alive of finishing in the top eight but frustration at Stamford Bridge.
