Manchester City’s latest quest for Champions League glory begins with a clash against German side RB Leipzig at the Etihad tonight.

The Premier League champions have bounced back from an opening day defeat by Tottenham with three succesive wins and are looking to carry that domestic form into Europe.

Man City vs RB Leipzig is scheduled for an 8pm BST kick-off.

TV channel: The match will be televised on BT Sport 3.
