Tonight’s last-16 second leg between Manchester City and FC Copenhagen is not expected to cause many issues for the Champions League holders.
Pep Guardiola’s side, who came from behind to beat rivals Manchester United on Sunday, are in a good position after a 3-1 victory away in the Danish capital last month.
While they were made to work in that victory having been pegged back following Kevin De Bruyne’s early opener, a late strike from Phil Foden has City in a commanding spot.
Still, with a huge game against Liverpool on the agenda in the Premier League, perhaps Guardiola will look to rotate. For that reason, Copenhagen may feel they have a better chance of springing what would be a big surprise.
Here’s everything you need to know about the game.
