Life has been fairly rosy at the Etihad in seasons of late, but the Champions League has, of yet, been a step to far for Guardiola's men. Will this season be any different?

Expected to win at home to Lyon the Premier League Champions had a torrid evening, and will be keen to put right their wrongs away to Hoffenheim.

Sergio Aguero has recovered from a foot injury in time for this one, whilst Vincent Kompany and Ilkay Gundogan are also back in the starting XI.

Riyad Mahrez finds himself back on the bench for this one, with Gabriel Jesus adding to the firepower on the sidelines. Plenty of talent between those two, but will they get a chance to show it this evening?

Here for the purple kit though. Reminding me of Quality Street.

Meanwhile, here's Juventus' team, without the suspended Cristiano Ronaldo who is serving his one-match ban after being sent off against Valencia.

Juventus face Young Boys, who Manchester United dispatched comfortably in their opening game of the competition. They line-up as follows:

This bodes well for Manchester City and Guardiola...
