Manchester City get their Champions League campaign underway tonight against Ligue 1's Lyon.

After being knocked out in the semi-finals of last year’s competition, Pep Guardiola’s men will be hoping to go all the way this time around.

Lyon, meanwhile, will be looking to progress beyond the group stages and avoid dropping down to the Europa League. With City favourites to secure the top spot, they face competition from Hoffenheim and Shakhtar Donetsk for second place.
