Manchester City host Danish giants Copenhagen on Wednesday night on matchday three of the UEFA Champions League group stage.
Pep Guardiola comes in to his next challenge of the 2022/23 season off the back of an emphatic derby day victory.
Manchester City cruised past Manchester United on Sunday afternoon, largely thanks to a totally dominant first-half that saw the Premier League champions lead 4-0 at the half-time interval.

Erling Haaland and Phil Foden both scored a hat-trick in a game that finished 6-3 and ensured City continued their unbeaten start to the new season.
However, the goals conceded were not the only down points for Guardiola to have to contend with.
While the Manchester derby saw a welcome return for Aymeric Laporte, it also saw a fresh injury sustained by Kyle Walker in the first-half.
That problem sustained by the England international came after Rodri was left out of the matchday squad with a calf problem.
