Man City vs Napoli LIVE early team news plus kick off time and how to watch information

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of Manchester City's Champions League opener against Napoli.

The Blues head into the Etihad clash on the back of an encouraging 3-0 derby day victory over Manchester United. Erling Haaland scored twice in that contest with Phil Foden also on target as City got back to winning ways after successive defeats prior to the September international break.

Pep Guardiola will be hoping his side make a winning start to their European campaign but face a difficult task against the reigning Serie A champions, who have opened up their domestic campaign with three straight wins.

The match will see the return of Blues legend Kevin De Bruyne, who joined Napoli in the summer having not been offered a new deal at the Etihad.

City remain without injured quartet Mateo Kovacic, Rayan Cherki, Rayan Ait-Nouri and Omar Marmoush, but John Stones is back in contention.

We will bring you all the build-up, action, reaction and analysis in our blog below, so stay with us.
