Fancy a Champions league preview to listen to on the way home from work? Plenty of content in the latest episode of The Independent podcast...
Don't know too much about Hoffenheim, or who could spoil Manchester City's Champions League aspirations?
Fear not, Jack Pitt-Brooke gives us the low down on Joelinton, a Brazilian talent that could give Pep Guardiola's side a headache this evening...
10 minute warning until 17:55 KO's!
Hoffenheim v Manchester United
Juventus v Young Boys
The teams are in the tunnel, and we are almost ready to hear the Champions League anthem.
City manager Pep Guardiola has described this as one of five finals after the defeat to Lyon...Julian Nagelsmann, Hoffenheim manager, is wearing a cardigan. Interesting attire.
KICK OFF: Hoffenheim kick us off! The other early kick off in Turin is also underway
1 min: GOAL! Hoffenheim 1-0 Manchester City (Ishak Belfodil)
City are behind in the opening minute! Their defence are caught sleeping and an incisive through ball plays in Belfodil who keeps his calm to slot past Ederson!
5 mins: GOAL! Juventus 1-0 Young Boys (Paulo Dybala)
Plenty of action in the early kick offs. Juventus fairing better than Manchester City, as Dybala puts them ahead converting a Leonardo Bonucci cross
8 mins: GOAL! Hoffenheim 1-1 Manchester City (Sergio Aguero)
Silva to Sane who looks to have wasted the opportunity when he should have shot, but squeezes the ball through to Aguero, who, as ever, makes no mistake.
That's his 207th goal for Manchester City. Pep Guardiola breathes a sigh of relief.
11 mins: Half-hearted penalty appeal from Hoffenheim as Kaderábek goes down, shoulder-to-shoulder with Walker - referee says no, and rightly so.
Otamendi also earns himself a yellow card for an early foul.
15 mins: A slight lull in play for us to catch our breath! A frantic start to this one, and there looks to be plenty more goals in it as neither side have really settled down. If anything, Hoffenheim look more comfortable.
As they attack, they leave themselves open to the pacy break from City though, and Raheem Sterling has his shot deflected out for a corner that comes to nothing.
