Manchester City face FC Copenhagen at the Etihad Stadium as they look to put themselves in a strong position in Champions League Group G.
Pep Guardiola’s side opened their Champions League campaign with a routine 4-0 win away at Sevilla.
They followed this up with a thrilling 2-1 win over Borussia Dortmund, a result that sits them comfortably at the top of Group G with six points taken out of the six available.
The victory came thanks to a late winner from rampant Norwegian striker Erling Haaland, who will be looking to score for the 9th consecutive game for the Blues, after scoring a sensational hat trick against bitter local rivals Manchester United.
