Welcome to the Evening Standard's Champions League LIVE match build-up to Manchester City vs Shakhtar Donetsk.
Man City may not have had it all their own way so far in the Premier League, but it has been plain sailing so far in Europe. Sitting pretty in first place in Group C, top spot - and seeding in the knockout stage draw - can be secured with a win over Shakhtar on Tuesday evening.
These two teams have faced each other in the group stage of the last three seasons, with City winning four of five, scoring 15 goals and conceding twice over five games.
City's last Champions League game ended with Kyle Walker in goal after an injury to Ederson and red card for replacement Claudio Bravo. Pep Guardiola will hope there is less entertainment around City's goal this time around.
Keep up to date with all the latest team news ahead of Tuesday's clash at Etihad Stadium.

Man City team news
Leroy Sane, Aymeric Laporte and Aleks Zinchenko (all knee) are still out for the forseeable future.
Bernardo Silva is available again following his domestic suspension, while David Silva and Rodri are likely to be back following cramp.
Sergio Aguero is almost certainly out with Guardiola fearing a 'bad' knee injury for his No.1 striker.
