Copenhagen vs Man City

Considering we're in Scandinavia, those are positively balmy conditions! 16:05. Fresh look. You may have noticed our Matchday Centre is different ...

City decked out in our beautifully bright yellow training jacket. Ederson has a rare lapse in concentration with the ball at his feet. The atmosphere is building in the Parken Stadium... Luckily for us, it rolls just wide of the goal and it's Copenhagen's first corner. A light show here at Parken Stadium - with a rendition of the Boomtown Rats ringing out. There’s a great wall of noise over to my left – the Copenhagen fans packed in behind that goal, who have been here for hours, are making plenty of noise.

31. de Moraes Ederson · 7. Cavaco Joao Cancelo · 25. Manuel Akanji · 14. Aymeric Laporte · 21. Sergio Gomez · 16. Rodrigo Hernandez Rodri · 8. Ilkay Gundogan · 26.

Kick-off at the Parken Stadium is at 5.45pm (BST) but stay tuned in the meantime for all the team news and build-up. Jacob Neestrup speaks: “City will undoubtedly have a lot of possession again but hopefully we will have more sequences where we have the ball on our own feet,” said the Copenhagen manager. Only seventh in the Danish league table after 12 games, Copenhagen drew 1-1 with leaders Nordsjælland at the weekend. 2 min: A dipping Kevin De Bruyne cross to the far post is deflected out for a corner. He pulls the ball across the face of goal and masked Copenhagen goalkeeper Kamil Grabera touches it wide of his far post. Copenhagen have a free-kick right on the edge of the City penalty area. 19 min: Lukas Lerager is teed up outside the City penalty area and sends a shot arrowing towards goal. Haraldsson shoots straight into the City wall, wherethe ball is blocked by Manuel Akanji. 20 min: Kevin De Bruyne has a shot high and wide for another City corner. He plays a crossfield ball towards Grealish, with help from Rodri but City are unable to forge an opening and are forced backwards. 48 min: Copenhagen win a corner, Rodri putting the ball out of play under pressure. They play their way upfield, beating City’s press but are unable to fashion anything in the way of a goalscoring opportunity.

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the early game in the Champions League as Premier League big boys Manchester City arrive in Denmark to face FC ...

It means the likes of Alvarez gets a chance to show his undoubted talent. The record for Champions League goals stands at a remarkable 140 set by Cristiano Ronaldo in his spells at Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus. Even so, the Norwegian goal machine would likely need at least eight, nine or more seasons at the top of his game in the Champions League to trouble Ronaldo’s efforts. This time Mahrez jinks his way into the box and then chips the ball to around the penalty area. It's a left-footed half-volley this time and the Spaniard gets it all wrong. Well, it sort of makes sense, doesn't it, to leave out the big Norwegian. The Algerian chooses to side foot his effort to the keeper's right but Grabara picks well and pushes it away. Maybe they are in a shock given the tonking they faced last week. Copenhagen build again and the blond locks of Haraldsson are again in view as the Icelandic teen controls, steps away and strikes. He gives the spot kick and Mahrez steps up. It's still unlikely given the quality of this City side but they have a chance. We're back underway and the lively crowd is immediately back and making plenty of noise.

Manchester City can seal their place in the Champions League knockout stages with a win over FC Copenhagen tonight. City brushed their Danish counterparts ...

COPENHAGEN will be having nightmares about facing 'not human' Erling Haaland again as the Danish side welcome Manchester City to Parken.Haaland's firs.

But city are lacking options in the middle. 63, The pace of the game has really dropped. City are knocking the ball around, but with no real purpose, understandably considering their man disadvantage. 66, De Bruyne curls in a dangerous ball. Bar a shot early in the first half, I can't think of an opportunity he's had. FC Copenhagen 0-0 Manchester City Although, very tough in the circumstances. They've been excellent this evening, and have kept themselves busy in a relatively dull second half. A chance for Johannesson late on nearly sealed a famous victory for the hosts. Then the red card comes and it changes the game completely.Rodri, Manchester city midfielder We respect the decision, then we have a penalty and we missed. No doubt he knows who is breathing down his neck.

Match report as Man City qualify for Champions League knockout stage despite drawing with Copenhagen; Rodri's thunderbolt ruled out, Riyad Mahrez's penalty saved and Sergio Gomez sent off as VAR dominates in first half; Erling Haaland rested as City ...

Of course we want to win but for the way we played, ten against 11, we cannot be sad." It will be interesting to know what Haaland thought of Guardiola's decision to leave him on the bench, though. "This was first and foremost a team performance. Tomorrow we will regenerate and then we have two days to prepare (to play) against Liverpool." On the first-half VAR decisions, Rodri told BT Sport: "Sometimes it's like this, you have to live these types of games. "I'm a bit frustrated of course, I don't think anyone realised what happened but apparently it's a handball. Much to City's consternation, he ruled out the strike for handball against Mahrez in the build-up. For a split-second, he appeared to think the ball was rolling towards his own goal. "It's a good point and we will take it. Dias initially allowed play to go on but, after later studying replays, decided to send the City left-back off. On his team's performance, he added: "To play one hour like that is tough. The players I played felt better."

Will Erling Haaland score for a 10th straight game in all competitions, or might Pep Guardiola rest him on Tuesday?
