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.
