Copenhagen Vs Man City Preview
On paper, Manchester City will be expected to make light work of the rank outsiders. However, football is not played on paper.
Just last season, the Cityzens were held to a 0-0 draw in Copenhagen. Boss Pep Guardiola will be the first to remind his players just how tricky this first-leg tie could prove.
With that said, City have won their last ten games in all competitions by an aggregate score of 29-5. February is typically the month that the holders get into their stride.
It’s hard to see Guardiola’s side not winning in Denmark on Tuesday. Especially now they have a fit-again Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland has rediscovered his scoring touch.
The likes of Phil Foden, Jack Grealish and Bernardo Silva will also provide plenty of creativity and offer an attacking threat.

Copenhagen Team News
Copenhagen will go into Tuesday’s clash without five players. Khouma Babacar, Davit Khocholava, Birger Meling and Theo Sander are all injured. Lukas Lerager misses out through suspension.
Mohamed Elyounoussi will likely be the Dane’s main attacking threat in Lerager’s absence. The left-winger has scored twice in the UEFA Champions League including against Manchester United in the group stages.
Copenhagen Predicted Line-Up (4-3-3): Grabara; Ankersen, Vavro, Diks, Jelert; Hojlund, Falk, Goncalves; Elyounoussi, Claesson, Achouri.
Man City Team News
Man City have a clean bill of health going into Tuesday’s round of 16 first-leg tie. Kevin De Bruyne came off the bench on the weekend but will likely make the starting XI.
Boss Pep Guardiola will surely put out his strongest possible line-up to ensure the Cityzens get the job done. However, Rico Lewis and Oscar Bobb could feature at some point.
Man City Predicted Line-Up (4-3-3): Ederson; Walker, Stones, Dias, Ake; De Bruyne, Rodri, Alvarez; Bernardo, Haaland, Foden.
