Manchester City travel to Denmark to take on FC Copenhagen today (Tuesday) in the Champions League.
Pep Guardiola’s men have already secured nine points from the first three UEFA Champions League matches, and a win over Copenhagen will almost ensure their entry into the next stage.
Copenhagen can only pray that Manchester City rest some key players so that they might be able to showcase their natural game on home turf.
The English champions humbled them 5-0 last time. And a similar outcome could only hurt their chances to grab a Europa League spot.
The Danish outfit have lost their matches against Borussia Dortmund and Manchester City. But a draw against Sevilla sandwiched between the two defeats could provide a breather to them.
Meanwhile, Manchester City’s relentless pursuit of their third consecutive Premier League title saw them dispatching Southampton 4-0.
But Arsenal’s victory over Liverpool means the reigning champions remain one point adrift of the league leaders.
Copenhagen will not be fancying a win, but a good defensive performance will keep their hopes alive for a third-place finish in Group G.
