Europa League - What to watch on Europa League matchday four Group A Celtic out to avert crisis talk Kris Commons' angry reaction to being substituted during Celtic's 3-1 loss in Molde on matchday three was not the only upsetting outburst in the Hoops camp of late, with a training-ground clash between Emilio Izaguirre and Nadir Çiftçi adding to a sense of frustration around the club.The 700 fans who braved the trip to Norway voiced their disapproval of Ronny Deila's side at full-time on matchday three. "It wasn’t acceptable from us," winger Gary Mackay-Stephen said. "We have to take it on the chin." Bottom of Group A, Celtic need to make amends now. "Do we expect to have to win three games?" said defender Dedryck Boyata. "Of course, but they are three difficult games." Celtic v Molde, 19.00CET Ajax stare elimination in the face With Ajax, Fenerbahçe and Celtic all drawn in the same group, one big side was always going to end up disappointed in Group A, but Molde's unexpected successes have intensified the pressure on the big guns. Fernandão's late goal in Istanbul has left Ajax without a win in four European games, and Frank de Boer knows that another defeat might mean bowing out at after matchday six for the first time in four UEFA Cup and UEFA Europa League group stage campaigns. “The next home match against Fenerbahçe is crucial," he explained. "If you do not win at home, you get knocked out." Ajax v Fenerbahçe, 19.00CET Group B Klopp drawing fire at Anfield Three draws in his first three games as Reds coach was hardly the dynamic start Jürgen Klopp would have hoped for after taking charge of his new club; on matchday three, Liverpool looked skittish, only equalising against Rubin after the Russian side had been reduced to ten men. Their next challenge is to become the first English side to avoid defeat against Rubin in Kazan, where Wigan Athletic, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur have all lost in the past – and, for Klopp, to put some steel into his side. "We conceded one goal and it felt like the end of the world – and it’s not the end of the world," he said after a 1-1 league draw with Southampton. "It's only a goal, you can always come back and that’s what we have to understand." Rubin v Liverpool, 19.00CETGroup C Dortmund sparkling under Tuchel Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's hat-trick on matchday three was Borussia Dortmund's third in their seven European games under Klopp's successor Thomas Tuchel, and as they prepare to take on Qäbälä at home, a fourth may be in the offing. The 42-year-old has Dortmund purring in Europe, and the players are enjoying working with the former Mainz coach. "Tuchel is making every one of us better," midfielder İlkay Gündogan said, with Marco Reus clearly benefitting after a shaky patch. "I just stayed calm and worked on my game," he said. "I knew it would come back if I continued to give full throttle." Dortmund v Qäbälä, 19.00CETGroup D Napoli want more from Higuaín The top scorers in the group stage with 11 goals in their first three Group D games, Napoli hit another peak on matchday three, José Callejón and Manolo Gabbiadini scoring contenders for goal of the group stage as they beat Danish champions Midtjylland 4-1. Coach Maurizio Sarri is expectin even more from them – and especially from Gonzalo Higuaín, who scrambled in their fourth last time out. "We have several champions upfront but Gonzalo is a class on his own," the Napoli coach said. "He is always happy and joking in training. He is in a very good run of form and is doing great things but I think he can still improve. He has reached only 80% of his potential. I'm sure he will be one of the most decisive strikers in the world." Napoli v Midtjylland, 19.00CET
