Europe – Champions League | Manchester City VS FC Copenhagen; Thursday, 07 March at 04:00 GMT +8

Manchester City, led by Pep Guardiola, is a favorite to win three trophies in the season, having won four consecutive matches in all competitions. Their recent 3-1 win against Manchester United, with 74% ball possession and 24 shots on goal, suggests their peak form.

FC Copenhagen, the weakest team in the Champions League knockout phase, will focus on the Danish national league, currently third with two points fewer than league leader Midtjylland. They lost 2-0 against Midtjylland, losing goal-scoring chances.

Manchester City has no major injury issues, but Josko Gvardiol, recovering from an ankle injury, may start against FC Copenhagen on Wednesday.

FC Copenhagen’s Viktor Claesson, injured in a game against Midtjylland, will not be in the squad for Wednesday’s Manchester City match, alongside Lukas Lerager and Emil Hojlund.

Predicted lineups:
