The Citizens will look to build on their impressive start to their European campaign when their opponents from Greece grace the Etihad.

Match preview

Manchester City will welcome Olympiakos to Etihad on Tuesday in search of their third successive win in the Champions League this season. The Citizens have started the campaign on a good note winning their first two games against FC Porto and Olympique Marseille respectively.

Nevertheless, it is difficult to make a compelling case for them to cruise to a win in the upcoming tie due to their inconsistent form on the domestic front. Pep Guardiola's side currently languishes in 10th position on the Premier League table after picking up just three wins, two draws and one defeat from six outings.

In fairness, the road has not been particularly smooth for them as injuries to both Gabriel Jesus and Sergio Aguero has seen them battle their way through matches without a formidable No.9. While they await the return of their strikers, Pep Guardiola will hope that the rest of his attackers will step up to build on the weekend's narrow win over Sheffield United in the Premier League.

For Olympiacos, the objective to qualify out of Group C looks well and truly alive. The Red-Whites began their European campaign by securing a 1-0 win over Marseille before falling to a 2-0 defeat away to FC Porto. They currently sit third on the table and are only edged by the Portuguese side who boasts a superior goal difference.

Coming up against Man City, their overall form could serve as enough motivation as they have managed to record just one defeat in their last 10 appearances.

Team news

Manchester City will go into Tuesday's encounter without the service of the injured Sergio Aguero. While Gabriel Jesus was pictured in the Citizen's last training session on Monday, his return looks to have come too soon for the upcoming game. Meanwhile, Fernandinho, Benjamin Mendy, and Nathan Ake are all ruled out of action.

Olympiacos, on the other hand, have been hit with a coronavirus crisis. Mady Camara, Ousseynou Ba, and Hilal Soudani returned positive tests over the past week and, as a result, will continue their recovery in isolation.

Predicted starting XI

  • Manchester City: Ederson; Cancelo, Ake, Dias, Zinchenko; Rodri, Gundogan, Silva; Mahrez, Torres, Foden

  • Olympiacos: Sa; Rafinha, Semedo, Cisse, Vinagre; M'Vila, Bouchalakis; Randjelovic, Valbuena, Masouras; El Arabi
