Manchester City host Dinamo Zagreb on Tuesday night looking to build on a strong start to their Champions League campaign.
Pep Guardiola’s side eased to a 3-0 win over Shakhtar Donetsk in their opening game in Group C. And they will be looking to put themselves in a commanding position at the top of the standings with victory against their Croatian opposition.
Dinamo Zagreb also came out on top in their first game, earning an emphatic 4-0 win over Serie A side Atalanta.
City, given their imposing domestic form, will be expected to secure a comfortable three points, but they will need to be wary of the strengths of their in-form visitors.
Here’s everything you need to know:
When is it?
Kick off at the Etihad Stadium is at 8pm (BST) on Tuesday October 1.
How can I watch it?
The match will be broadcast live on BT Sport, with coverage starting at 7:15pm.
Team News
City will again be without defenders Aymeric Laporte and John Stones, so Fernandinho is likely to continue deputising at centre-back. Long-term absentee Leroy Sane remains sidelined by injury, too. Guardiola may opt to rest the influential Kevin De Bruyne, who added his eighth Premier League of the season against Everton on Saturday.
Dinamo Zagreb have relatively few injury concerns, and could name an unchanged side from the weekend’s 4-0 win over NK Lokomotiva. Mislav Orsic is the danger man for the visitors, having scored five goals in his last four appearances.
