Our live match stream ahead of Wednesday evening’s Champions League fixture Olympiakos v Man City, kicking off at 5:55pm BST.
You can keep an eye on the commentary as it happens below, but first, we take a preview into the fixture, the lineups, predictions and much more.
In the previous game, Man City ended up losing 2-0 to Tottenham. Goals from Heung-Min Son and Giovani Lo Celso gave Spurs a statement victory; Manchester City dominated shots and ball but couldn’t break down stubborn Jose Mourinho approach; Spurs sat atop the Premier League for 24 hours at least, City sit 10th in the Premier League table with just 12 points.
Greek side Olympiakos managed to beat Panathinaikos 1-0, the only goal of the game coming from Fortounis in the 21st minute. Man City’s opponents currently sit top of the Super League, taking 19 points from 7 games played so far.
PRESS CONFERENCES:
Important given schedule?
Pep Guardiola said: “It is important for our qualification and also to recover our feelings. To be able to win games is important. We can leave this competition until February and focus on other competitions, especially the Premier League. At the same time we know how difficult it is and if we are able to get results we travel to Porto and then have Marseille here. One step at a time but at the same time to recover, to come back and create good feelings.”
Aguero concern?
“Today he trained again. What we want is for him to feel a good feeling in his knee. I know it is not his injury but we wait for him and there is still time, we have many many games to play and we will need him. We want him in the best condition.”
English clubs at disadvantage in CL?
“They are. Every season we are at a disadvantage. We have to adapt but even when the situation is normal but that is the challenge. When you are able to do it, it is nicer. Nobody before could win a domestic treble. If your mind is in the right way, you can do it.”
Guardiola says everyone is fit apart from Nathan Ake, who is coming back to training on Friday. Fernandinho and Benjamin Mendy fit again
City worked out by better teams?
“Do you think we change from the first season? The first action was not a counter, they ran two times in 90 minutes and the second one they were brilliant. We conceded one, two counter-attacks, another was offside and no more. We shot more, crossed more, didn’t concede a corner. We cannot expect to create a lot against Tottenham but even with that we tried to find a way but even with that we created. Aside from Liverpool, all teams defend so deep and we have to find a way to avoid but I don’t think counter-attacks are the big problem, I think the fluidity to attack is the target that we and I have to improve to know exactly what we have to do.”

SPORTSMOLE PREDICTS:
