Man City v Napoli live: Champions League team news, line-ups and more tonight

Incidentally, De Bruyne’s first 10 minutes back at the Etihad saw him have four touches, makes three passes and complete them all for 100 per cent pass accuracy. Make of that what you will

Spinazzola twists and turns his way past Khusanov but the Man City right-back recovers to lunge and block the cross. That was a good battle.

The ball does eventually go into the box and falls to Anguissa but City scramble away

City work the ball down the left, it’s fed inside to Reijnders and he thunders a shot at goal that is well tipped over by Milinkovic-Savic. Decent save.

Foden’s corner then goes all the way through to Doku at the back post, who looks surprised that it’s come to him. He takes a touch but a defender get across and the ball is blocked. Promising for City though

De Bruyne welcomed back to the Etihad

Gvardiol strides forward and slips Reijnders into the channel. Eventually the ball falls to Dias 35 yards out and he lashes a shot vaguely towards goal but it’s a long way wide.

Dias hasn’t scored since 2022 so that was always speculative at best…

Napoli launch a ball forward to try and get Hojlund running in behind but it’s dealt with by the City defence.

The hosts then happy to hold the ball in their own half before Rodri directs traffic and gets them moving forward. Doku fizzes a ball into the box towards Haaland but it’s cleared

And we’re off in Manchester. A big evening at the Etihad

Our Senior Football Correspondent Richard Jolly is inside the Etihad Stadium tonight:

“A familiar sound at the Etihad, a chant of “Oh, Kevin de Bruyne”. There was a huge banner celebrating “King Kev” too.”

It’s almost kick-off time but a reminder of tonight’s team news first.

Man City are unchanged from the weekend’s Manchester derby as Pep Guardiola opts for continuity, while City legend Kevin De Bruyne starts for Napoli as do ex-Man United pair Scott McTominay and Rasmus Hojlund.

Man City XI: Donnarumma; Khusanov, Dias, Gvardiol, O’Reilly; Rodri, Silva, Reijnders; Foden, Haaland, Doku

Napoli XI: Milinkovic-Savic; Di Lorenzo, Beukema, Buongiorno, Spinazzola; Lobotka; Politano, Anguissa, De Bruyne, McTominay; Hojlund

TNT Sports pundit and ex-Man City goalkeeper Joe Hart has been talking about Kevin De Bruyne’s start to life at Napoli and how desperate he’ll be to prove a point against Man City
