Follow all the action as Manchester City face a tricky encounter in Greece against Olympiacos in the Champions League group stages.
Pep Guardiola’s side can secure their place in the knockout stages with a victory thanks to a spectacular run of form in Europe, winning all three of their matches so far and conceding just one goal in the process. Porto are second in the group, just three points adrift heading tonight’s fixture, though, so City cannot afford any slip-ups as they look to guarantee themselves of top spot.
City ran out 3-0 winners when they welcomed Olympiacos to the Etihad earlier this month, however, that scoreline was rather deceptive, with the match far from settled until the final 10 minutes. Olympiacos only have one win in the group so far, defeating Marseille in their opening fixture, and know a victory is all but essential tonight if they are to reach the knockout stages.
