Manchester City host FC Copenhagan hoping to take the defence of their UEFA Champions League crown into the quarterfinals.
City won 3-1 in at the Parken Arena last month to make them heavy favourites in the return leg, although Pep Guardiola will be keen for them not to take their eye off the ball in the middle of what promises to be a pivotal week in their season.
Two goals from Phil Foden inspired a 3-1 comeback win over rivals Manchester United on Sunday, while this weekend brings a seismic clash with Premier League leaders Liverpool at Anfield. As such, there will probably be an element of rotation in the City lineup.
A Copenhagen side that knocked out Galatasaray and United during the group stage will hope to seize on any lack of rhythm from their hosts to cause one of the biggest Champions League upsets of recent times.
