GOOD AFTERNOON
Hello and welcome to SunSport’s live coverage of this exciting Champions League tie – Club Brugge vs Manchester City at the Jan Breydel Stadium.
The home side are currently second in Group A, ahead of Pep Guardiola’s side by one point after a surprise away victory over RB Leipzig and a hard-fought draw at home against PSG.
City also beat RB Leipzig in a thrilling 6-3 win at home just over a month ago, but were beaten 2-0 away at PSG thanks to an early strike from Idrissa Gueye and a Lionel Messi stunner in the second half.
The end of this game will mark the half way point in this season’s Champions League Group Stage and Pep Guardiola’s side will want nothing less than three points to get themselves one step closer to the last 16.
But Club Brugge have shown they are no pushovers, are in good form in the league and will look to use their home advantage to get one up on the Premier League champions in tonight’s game.
City will be the favourites by some margin, but Pep Guardiola will warn his side against complacency when they know that one misstep in this tricky group and they could find themselves out of the Champions League.
