  1. Elsewhere tonight...published at 19:01 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February 2016

Oh, and back in Blighty there is also the not-so-matter of a Championship game. Here's what else you can look forward too..

    Cain Ward: If Man City don't beat Dynamo Kiev today then playing that squad against Chelsea will hit them hard. Anyway...3-0 City.

    Mark Matthews: A few of Man City's problems are due to FFP. The likes of Fernando and Garcia wouldn't have been bought and others replaced earlier.

    Man City XI: Hart, Sagna, Kompany (C), Otamendi, Clichy, Fernando, Fernandinho, Toure, Silva, Sterling, Aguero.

    The chances are that you're sat on the sofa, feet up, perhaps with a tipple in your hand (if you're old enough) and following these words on your mobile/tablet/laptop.

    You might have half an eye on the telly, which tonight is being dominated by the Brit Awards. And if you have, and often experience schadenfreude, then you might be hoping to see somebody famous embarrass themselves at the annual ceremony. 

    Think Madonna's fall last year, think Jarvis Cocker invading the stage in 1996, think Liam Gallagher being drunk and abusive in, well, numerous years.

    So as we're here to celebrate the creme de la creme of the football industry, not their musical counterparts, we want to know your embarrassing footballing experiences.

    Fell over in a pile of mud on your way to a ground? Been sick at Scunthorpe's Glanford Park (I've not done that. Honest)? Tweet using #bbcfootball or text on 81111.

    About -1C in the Ukrainian capital, according to our colleagues over at BBC Weather. Hope the City kitman packed 18 pairs of lycra leggings and thermal gloves for the squad.

    Dynamo Kiev v Man City (19:45 GMT)

    Manchester City have delivered their teamsheet to the suited Uefa bloke in Kiev. And it shows 10 changes from the FA Cup defeat at Chelsea as Manuel Pellegrini reverts to his first-choice side. Quelle surprise...

    City XI: Hart, Sagna, Kompany, Otamendi, Clichy, Fernando, Fernandinho, Toure, Silva, Sterling, Aguero.

  12. Quadruple? No. Treble? Hmmm...published at 18:35

    Dynamo Kiev v Man City (19:45 GMT)

    Hello! So we know Manuel Pellegrini is leaving. And we know that Pep Guardiola is arriving. But what we don't know is how many trophies (if any) the Chilean will leave in the cabinet for the 'world's greatest coach' to defend.

    City had their sights on an unprecedented quadruple a few weeks ago. That has lowered to a treble after their FA Cup exit. But they have slipped off the Premier League pace and have never even reached the last eight of the Champions League.

    But the Blues can take a huge stride to achieving the latter if they manage to see off Ukrainian champions Dynamo Kiev.

  13. Mission possible?published at 18:32

    Dynamo Kiev v Man City (19:45 GMT)

    But bagging three circular pieces of engraved, expensive metal isn't a bad way to wave farewell, right?

    That's what the Chilean is aiming to own when he slinks out of the Etihad Stadium for the final time in the summer on his way to, well, who knows where.

    Tonight is phase one of the Pellegrini Trident mission. 

    Destination: Kiev.

    Task: Champions League.

    Dynamo Kiev v Manchester City

    You don't win anything with kids, someone once boldly claimed. And on this occasion that fella was proved right.

    Manchester City's fresh-faced youths were taught a harsh lesson in the FA Cup at the weekend, as Chelsea's seasoned stars mercilessly wrecked Manuel Pellegrini's dream. 

    The dream that he would walk away into the Manchester sunset (presuming it isn't slinging it down in the 'Rainy City') with four shiny winners' medals slung around his neck...
