Shock troops Rubin Kazan host Barcelona on Wednesday evening looking to complete a famous doubled over the holders, while Inter Milan travel to Dynamo Kiev needing to win!

Topsy-turvy is the best way to describe Group F following the results a fortnight ago, and you do get the impression that a major upset is on the cards.

The proof as they say is in the pudding after Russian unknowns Rubin Kazan sent shockwaves throughout Europe when they defeated the mighty Barcelona 2-1 at the Camp Nou last time out!

In the other game Dynamo Kiev secured a brilliant 2-2 draw against Inter Milan at the San Siro to prolong the Nerazzuri's year-long, eight game search for a win in Europe' premier club competition.

It leaves the group somewhat, well, topsy-turvy!

In first place you have Rubin Kazan on five points, then come Barcelona and Dynamo Kiev on four, while Jose Mourinho's men bring up the rear on three.

It all makes for a fascinating evening on matchday four and neither of the big two will fancy winter trips to Russia and Ukraine respectively.

La Blaugrana and Inter themselves are due to lock-horns again at the end of the month, meaning Wednesday night's away trips bore much more importance.

When the groups were drawn, Barca defender Carles Puyol jauntily overlooked their two Eastern European opponents.

"We have the usual teams such as Chelsea, Liverpool, Inter and Milan - not to forget Bayern Munich. I always hate playing against them; they are a very tough side to beat and very unpredictable," he said.

Well, Carles, you may want to add Rubin Kazan to that list of 'very tough to beat and very unpredictable sides'!

As for Jose Mourinho’s Inter, defeat in Ukraine could see Europe's officially strongest domestic side crash and burn at the first hurdle.

He did call himself the 'Special One' didn't he? Well, his men will need to produce something special to qualify from this group into the last 16.
