Manchester City will be looking to maintain their 100% start in the Champions League group stage when they welcome Copenhagen to the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday night.
The Citizens extended their winning streak across all competitions to four matches with an emphatic 6-3 Premier League victory at home against arch rivals Manchester United last weekend, with Erling Braut Haaland and Phil Foden both scoring memorable hat-tricks.
Pep Guardiola's side are unbeaten from their opening 10 fixtures in all tournaments this term, including successive Group G wins over Sevilla and Borussia Dortmund last month.
