Artur Dias will lead a predominantly Portuguese team of match officials at Parken in Copenhagen on Tuesday evening.

Fresh from a dominant 4-0 victory over Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon, there is very little time for rest and recovery as Manchester City's attention quickly returns to the UEFA Champions League.

After securing a 5-0 win against Copenhagen last week, City will be looking to do exactly same in the reverse fixture and subsequently secure their place in the knock-out stages of the competition in 2023.

Manchester City are currently three points clear at the top of Group G, with Borussia Dortmund sat in second on six points.

Their Danish opponents are currently winless in the group, having lost to Dortmund and drawn with Sevilla prior to last week's crushing defeat at the Etihad Stadium.

Ahead of Tuesday evening's clash in the Danish capital, UEFA have announced the match officials for the fixture.

Artur Dias will lead an all-Portuguese on-field team of officials at Parken in midweek.

The 43 year-old was appointed to eight UEFA matches last season, showing 47 yellow cards and four red cards.

The referee last took charge of Manchester City in the last-16 first-leg of the UEFA Champions League in 2021, as goals from Bernardo Silva and Gabriel Jesus secured a 0-2 win for Pep Guardiola's side over Borussia Monchengladbach.

Tuesday evening's game will be Dias' second Champions League match of the season, after leading Liverpool's 2-1 win over Ajax at Anfield last month.
