Following their win against Southampton on Saturday afternoon, Manchester City travel to the Denmark to take on FC Copenhagen in the second half of the UEFA Champions League group stage.

Over the weekend, City continued their conquest of the Premier League with a 4-0 win over Southampton.

The scoring started in the 20th minute, when Joao Cancelo dribbled through the Saints’ defence before striking the ball past former Cityzen Gavin Bazunu.

Later in the first-half, Phil Foden would double Manchester City’s lead with a chipped shot that put the ball out of Bazunu’s reach.

Riyad Mahrez would get his name on the scoreboard after Rodri played a perfect pass to the Algeria international, who glided the ball home to make the game 3-0.

To seal off the Saints, Erling Haaland scored from point-blank range in the 65th minute, taking the Norwegian’s total goal count to a Premier League-leading 16 goals.

For his efforts, grabbing a goal and an assist on Haaland’s goal, Joao Cancelo was named man of the match for the first time this season.

On the other side of the ticket sits FC Copenhagen, who come in to the match off the back of a draw against FC Nordsjælland in the Danish Superliga.

On the continental front, the Lions most recent game was against Manchester City, whom they suffered a 5-0 defeat to last week.

Erling Haaland scored a first-half brace against Copenhagen during their first meeting, with Julian Alvarez and Mahrez also making their way onto the scorer’s sheet.

A win on Tuesday night would take Pep Guardiola and his squad in to the Champions League knockout stage - something which has become standard procedure for the Catalan at the Etihad Stadium.

Guardiola will have to book their tickets without three defenders, as John Stones, Kyle Walker, and Kalvin Phillips all remain out of the Cityzen’s squad due to respective injury problems.

Walker and Phillips continue to recover following surgery, while Stones is making progress towards getting back on the pitch.

The Three Lions trio will be hoping for a full recovery soon, as the World Cup is now just over a month away.
