Manchester City will be looking to continue their excellent start to their Champions League campaign when they visit Marseille tonight.
Man City got their group stage underway in perfect fashion at they beat FC Porto 3-1 at home last week, and now take on their first away assignment.

Subs: Steffen, Carson, Stones, Bernardo, Mahrez, Cancelo, Garcia, Nmecha, Doyle, Harwood-Bellis, Palmer, Bernabe
Prediction: Marseille 1-2 Man City
City's lack of striking options means this could be a grind for Pep Guardiola's men against a Marseille side with a fairly solid defensive record, having conceded only eight times in as many league games this season.
However, the English side should have just too much quality.
