Chelsea 2-0 Marseille: Though ex-Marseille striker Didier Drogba misses the game through suspension and injury rules out Frank Lampard, Blues boss Carlo Ancelotti will be expecting a win against Didier Deschamp's men
The visitors control the ball and create the early pressure but Chelsea take the lead in the seventh minute when John Terry tucks in Gael Kakuta's scuffed corner at the near post
Chelsea are by no means dominating the game but Michael Essien and Florent Malouda step up their play, Marseille conceding a penalty from Stephane Mbia's handball that Nicolas Anelka converts
Whether it's Chelsea sitting back or Marseille upping their game, the home side are still not in control and concede a string of early second-half free kicks while Lucho Gonzalez continues to be a danger
Once again, the Blues take hold of the game, seemingly at will, hitting the post twice through Alex and Essien, with Anelka having an effort ruled out for offside, and bringing on the lively Daniel Sturridge
Chelsea aren't the free-scoring force seen at the start of the season but are worth their win, needed since the recent losses to Newcastle United and Manchester City
Partizan Belgrade 1-3 Arsenal: The match begins on time despite confusion before kick off as one of the stadium's floodlights and lighting around the benches and tunnel fail to work
The Gunners travel to Serbia without Theo Walcott, Robin van Persie and Cesc Fabregas but can be confident following their last Champions League outing, the 6-0 drubbing of Braga
Despite the three-quarter light, Jack Wilshire shines brightest for Arsenal and sets up Andrey Arshavin with a clever bit of footwork to open the scoring for the away side
Partizan don't see too much of the ball but earn a penalty from Denilson's handball which Cleo scores to make it 1-1 at the break, Arsenal yet again failing to keep a clean sheet away in Europe
The second half comes to life when last man Marko Jovanovic brings down Marouane Chamakh in the box, Jovanic is sent off but Vladimir Stojkavic, once of Wigan, saves Arshavin's spot kick
But the extra man makes the difference for Arsenal and the constant pressure since Arshavin's miss sees Chamakh score on the rebound after Stojkovic can only valiantly tip the Moroccan's header against the bar
Despite the home side's stoic defence and the efforts of Stojkovic, the Gunners add a third with eight minutes left when Sebastien Squillaci heads home Samr Nasri's corner
There's still time for Kieran Gibbs to concede a penalty, which Lukasz Fabianksi saves from Cleo, and Squillaci to let in Ivica Iliev, who is likewise thwarted by Fabianski, but will Arsenal's Polish keeper start against Chelsea?
