Man City v Olympiacos: Prediction, team news, lineup, TV channel, live stream, h2h - Champions League preview

Manchester City are looking to make it three wins out of three in Champions League Group C as Olympiacos head to town tonight.

Pep Guardiola has yet to win the European Cup at City, and the pressure is on this season - especially with his contract running out next summer.

Man City have made a strong start to their 2020/21 European campaign with maximum points so far, and another win here would leave them heavy favourites to progress to the knockout stages.

Date, time and venue

Man City vs Olympiacos is scheduled for an 8pm GMT kick-off tonight (Tuesday, November 3, 2020).

The match will be held behind closed doors at the Etihad Stadium.

How to watch

TV channel: The match will be televised on BT Sport 3, with coverage from 7:15pm.

Live stream: BT Sport subscribers will be able to watch the match online via the video player and the BT Sport app.

Man City team news

Sergio Aguero remains out of action with a knee injury, though Guardiola expects the striker to be fit immediately after the November international break.

Gabriel Jesus remains on the comeback trail, but Guardiola may not want to risk the forward given Aguero's absence and Liverpool visiting the Etihad on Sunday.

Benjamin Mendy and Fernandinho are both sidelined.

Man City predicted lineup (4-3-3): Ederson, Walker, Ake, Stones, Zinchenko, Gundogan, Rodri, De Bruyne, Sterling, Torres, Foden

Prediction: Man City 3-1 Olympiacos

There are no easy rides in the Champions League, but City are coasting through this group and should make light work of their Greek opponents.

Head to head (h2h) history and results

The two teams have yet to face each other in a Uefa competition.
