Man City vs Copenhagen: How to watch on TV live stream, team news, lineups & prediction
By Tom Gott
Manchester City will expect to add Danish side FC Copenhagen to their growing list of victims when the two teams square off at the Etihad on Wednesday.
Pep Guardiola's men are flying after putting Manchester United to the sword in this weekend's derby and are sitting pretty at the top of Group G thanks to their victory over Borussia Dortmund last time out.
They're up against a Copenhagen side who secured a goalless draw with Sevilla last month, but have endured a thoroughly disappointing domestic campaign which has seen them win just five of their 11 games thus far.
Here's all you need to know about this one.

Man City vs Copenhagen score prediction
The unfortunate reality for Copenhagen is that this could get ugly.
Man City's dominance has been unrelenting in recent weeks and they'll expect to score plenty of goals in what should be a routine victory.
Pep Guardiola will want the game wrapped up early so he can withdraw his big names, so don't be surprised if the first half features more goals than the second.
Prediction: Manchester City 5-0 Copenhagen
