Confirmed Match Officials: Manchester City vs FC Copenhagen (UEFA Champions League)

UEFA have announced the match officials for Manchester City's Champions League clash with FC Copenhagen on Wednesday.

Donatas Rumšas will lead a predominantly Lithuanian team of Match Officials at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday.

Fresh from a 6-3 thrashing of local rivals Manchester United in the Premier League, Manchester City's attention quickly returns to the UEFA Champions League.

After coming from behind to beat Borussia Dortmund 2-1 at the Etihad Stadium last month, the Premier League Champions will look to make it three wins from three matches on Wednesday night.

City are currently three points clear at the top of Group G and face back-to-back meetings with FC Copenhagen.

The Danish side are currently winless in the group, having lost to Dortmund and drawn with Sevilla.
