Manchester City travel to the Danish capital to face FC Copenhagen in the Champions League knockout stages on Tuesday evening. Copenhagen head coach Jacob Neestrup infamously claimed that the atmosphere at Parken Stadium was 100 times more intense than Manchester United's home ground earlier this season. Given Pep Guardiola's own misgivings with the Etihad crowd, one can only imagine how the din in Denmark compares to City's stadium. Nevertheless, the reigning European champions are heavy favourites in almost any venue they enter. Guardiola gave his side a 0.1% chance of repeating their treble-winning feat of last season but the odds of victory on Tuesday will be considerably higher. Here's the starting XI Guardiola may deploy to maximise his side's chance of success.

Manchester City return to Premier League action after winning the Club World Cup in Saudi Arabia at a canter. The Cityzens saw off Urawa Red Diamonds and Fluminense to win a record fifth trophy of 2023, but they'll know that success will count for nothing unless they can get back to winning ways in the Premier League . City have won just one of their last six Premier League Game s - away at new boys Luton - and could be eight points behind Liverpool by the time this Game gets underway. Pep Guardiola has been without Kevin De Bruyne for the entire season and has recently lost Erling Haaland to a foot problem - whether or not the Norwegian starts here remains to be seen.

Stability ceases to exist on the red side of Manchester and Erik ten Hag's job status remains under scrutiny after Saturday's dismal 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth. While their Premier League form has been mixed at best, United sit bottom of their Champions League group ahead of the final round of fixtures. They need a mini-miracle to progress alongside Bayern Munich from Group A, and Ten Hag is unlikely to welcome any players back to the fold for the Bundesliga giants' visit. Here's how United could line up in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

The Champions League group stage has once again been a procession for Manchester City, who have the chance to win Group G on Tuesday night. The current holders have made the perfect start to their title defence, winning all four of their group Game s thus far. Their victory over RB Leipzig in the reverse fixture on Matchday 2 set them up for a stroll and they'll top the group should they avoid defeat in this one. While Leipzig will join City in the round of 16, they'll need to become the first team to beat Pep Guardiola's side at the Etihad in Europe since Liverpool in April 2018 to have any chance of pipping them to top spot. After making no substitutions during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Liverpool, Guardiola is bound to make a few changes to his starting XI in midweek. Here's how City could line up.

An out-of-sorts Barcelona host Porto in the Champions League group stage on Tuesday evening. Xavi's side have failed to win three of their last five Game s but arguably haven't put together a convincing performance since a pair of 5-0 wins against Real Betis and Antwerp in September. The Catalan coach revealed that the team "have focused a lot on positional play" during the international break. Yet, little process seemed to have been made in a stodgy 1-1 draw with Rayo Vallecano on Saturday. Here's the XI Xavi may deploy for an improved display this midweek.

Having seemingly come away from the November international break with no new injury concerns, Mikel Arteta will be relishing Arsenal 's return to Premier League action this Saturday. The Gunners travel to Brentford at the weekend as they look to pick up from where they left off prior to the international period. Arsenal have won their last two matches, most recently beating Burnley 3-1 in the Premier League. Arteta will have his fingers crossed that the likes of Martin Odegaard, Gabriel Jesus and Ben White will all return, but he will still be without a few important members of his squad for the clash with the Bees. Here's how Arteta could line his Arsenal side up against Brentford on Saturday.

Manchester City will be crowned champions of Europe for the first time with victory against Inter on Saturday night. Pep Guardiola's side head to Istanbul for their second Champions League final in three years, looking to put to bed their many years of failure in this competition. After a so-so first half of the 2022/23 season, Man City have looked imperious over the last few months and have a largely settled team in their unique 3-2-4-1 formation. Here is how the treble-chasers are expected to line up.

Manchester City are on course to win a third consecutive Premier League title this season after reeling in Arsenal, but the elusive Champions League is still what drives the club. This is a third straight year in which Pep Guardiola's side have reached at least the semi-finals, facing Real Madrid again after late goals cost them the tie this time last year. Here's a look at the starting XI Guardiola could pick as City head to Spain.

Manchester United host Nottingham Forest on Tuesday evening in the first com Pet itive meeting between these iconic clubs in the 21st century. When these sides last met in February 1999, Nottingham Forest had won more European Cups (two) than Manchester United (one). En route to levelling that tally of big-eared trophies, the Red Devils romped to a humiliating 8-1 victory at the City Ground. This fixture may be the setting for one of the greatest substitute performances in Premier League history - Ole Gunnar Solskjaer came off the bench to score four goals that afternoon - but the starters are the focus for now. Here's the XI Erik ten Hag may deploy in a bid to emulate the club's past triumphs against the (Not Always So) Tricky Trees.
