Manchester City will be aiming to continue their 100 per cent record in this season's Champions League when FC Copenhagen travel to the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday night.
City have already beaten Sevilla and Borussia Dortmund this campaign and will be full of confidence heading into this European tie. Pep Guardiola's men thrashed Manchester United 6-3 on Sunday in a clash which was a lot more comfortable than the scoreline suggests.
Erling Haaland once again stole the show for City with a hat-trick as well as a couple of assists for Phil Foden as Erik ten Hag's team were run ragged. Wednesday's Danish opponents have yet to taste victory in this year's group stages having lost 3-0 away in Germany before holding Julen Lopetegui's side to a goalless draw at home.

MEN Sport asked City fans to select the line-up they would like to see fielded against Copenhagen and this was the most popular XI:
Goalkeeper - Stefan Ortega
Ederson has yet to miss a match for the Blues this season however tonight might be the perfect occasion to provide him with a rest. Stefan Ortega is yet to make his City debut.
Defenders - Joao Cancelo, Aymeric Laporte, Ruben Dias, Sergio Gomez
If it was up to City fans, only one player would survive in defence from the team that beat the Reds. Joao Cancelo would keep his place but would move to right-back following the injury to Kyle Walker.
Aymeric Laporte has been back in training for a couple of weeks now and Guardiola may see this as the ideal time to reintroduce the centre-back to the first team fold. Meanwhile Ruben Dias is also given the nod having been dropped to the bench for the visit of United.
Midfielders - Ilkay Gundogan, Rodri, Bernardo Silva
Notably Kevin De Bruyne would be rested for the match having been pivotal for Guardiola this season. Rodri missed the game at the weekend through injury but was in training on Tuesday so he should hopefully be fit for a start.
Captain Ilkay Gundogan has been impressive this term and would retain his place alongside Bernardo Silva. Further changes in midfield are limited due to the injury to Kalvin Phillips.
Forwards - Riyad Mahrez, Julian Alvarez, Jack Grealish
Hat-trick heroes Haaland and Foden would both be allowed a night off if City fans were allowed to choose the team. Their absence gives Riyad Mahrez and Julian Alvarez a chance to show the manager what they can offer in the forward line.
Jack Grealish impressed against United but will be keen to add goals and assists to his game moving forwards.
