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.
