Man City vs Copenhagen LIVE early team news plus start time and how to watch Champions League tie

Manchester City will be seeking a place in the quarter finals of the Champions League tonight.

The Blues welcome FC Copenhagen to the Etihad with a 3-1 advantage from the first leg in Denmark. City are heavy favourites to book their place in the last eight as they continue their bid to defend the crown they won in historic fashion last season.

Pep Guardiola is expected to field a strong side despite the Premier League showdown with Liverpool on Sunday. Jack Grealish remains sidelined through injury but otherwise City have a full squad to pick from.

Tonight's tie comes on the back of City's Manchester derby win with the Blues still chasing a repeat of the Treble they won last year. Copenhagen come into the contest on the back of a 2-0 defeat to league leaders FC Midtjylland. It was Jacob Neestrup's side's first defeat since returning from the Danish Superliga mid-season break, leaving them at risk of failing to qualify for Europe next term.

Kick-off at the Etihad tonight is 8pm. You can follow all the action, reaction and analysis with us right here.

We're not expecting Jack Grealish back tonight, with Jeremy Doku joining him on the injury list as he missed training yesterday.

Josko Gvardiol returned from injury for the Manchester derby, and Phil Foden brushed off any concerns of a dead leg from the United win by reporting for training as expected yesterday.

With City leading by two goals in this tie before we even kick off, could Guardiola rotate some of his players tonight ahed of the weekend trip to Liverpool?

Chief City writer Simon Bajkowski, at the Etihad:

Jeremy Doku missed training yesterday after some discomfort so it would be a surprise if he was avilable tonight. With Jack Grealish also missing through
