    Pep Guardiola has Manchester City playing a "special brand" of football that is exciting fans around the world, says ex-goalkeeper Shay Given.

    Guardiola's side top the Premier League by five points, scoring 35 goals in 10 games and dropping only two points.

    City finished third in the Spaniard's first season, and spent more than £200m on new players in the summer.

    "The talent on show and even the talent on the bench at times is frightening for most teams," Given told BBC Sport.

    "The team Guardiola has built now is really exciting to watch."

    We've got some more sell-by date sass.

    Thomas Rye: Gabriel Agbonlahor. Yes he still plays for Villa.

    Shanmugaraja CK: Wenger may be past his sell by date, sadly. Arsenal are no more a force, no playing style.

    Napoli coach Maurizio Sarri says that Pep Guardiola's Premier League leaders "are the best team in Europe, led by the best coach in Europe".

    City have won nine and drawn one of their league games this season, scoring 35 goals in their 10 games.

    Napoli have had a similar start in Serie A, with 10 wins and a draw from 11 games - and 32 goals scored.

    City won their reverse fixture 2-1 to go six points above the Italian side in Group F with three wins from three.

    "They have a devastating force of impact on matches and they have scored so many of their goals in the first 20 minutes," Sarri added.

    "Their matches have all been over by the 70th minute. They deserve great credit for what they did in the first match, no-one has escaped our pressing like that."

    May I state the obvious for a moment - Harry Kane is dominant in the Premier League when it comes to attacking.

    He's had 57 shots this season - a massive 20 more than the next man on the list, Romelu Lukaku. If you don't shoot, you don't score as they say.

    He's scored eight times - the most - and had 21 shots on target. The only man to match that is also in action tonight. Step forward Mohamed Salah.

    Kane's also hit the woodwork on five occasions, nobody else has more than two.

    Harry Kane and Cristiano Ronaldo have both scored more goals than anyone else in the competition this season (5).

    Kane was badly missed at Old Trafford on Saturday. With 17 goals in his last 13 appearances for club and country, that goes without saying.

    Let's have a look at some more Kane stats...

  9. A long wait...published at 19:19 Greenwich Mean Time 1 November 2017

    Dortmund v Apoel Nicosia (19:45 GMT)

    Dortmund have gone five games without a win in the Champions League (D1 L4); their longest winless run in the competition since a seven-game run ending in 2001.

    Cypriot clubs have won only one of their 47 games against German opposition in European competition (D8 L38), it was in October 1980 when APOEL beat Dynamo Berlin 2-1 at home in the first round of the European Cup.

    Napoli v Manchester City (19:45 GMT)

    I watched Napoli's league game at the weekend on TV, and they were hugely impressive. I thought Chelsea were in for a tough night in Rome last night and the same could apply for City this evening.

    Pep Guardiola's side have been fantastic themselves though. A draw is enough to send City through though.

    I'm told we should expect something like 45-50,000 fans in tonight, the attendance slightly hit by the fact that they ramp the prices up for Champions League football.

    A ticket on the "curva" for the game against Sassuolo at the weekend would have cost you nine euros, tonight it's 40 euros.

    I can't wait to hear the noise though. I always remember listening to Manchester City's game here in 2011 on 5 live when the atmosphere came thundering through the radio and thinking then it was a stadium I really wanted to visit.

    A big crowd is expected tonight

    For a club of such great stature and history, it is an oddity that this is Real Madrid's first appearance at Wembley. The romantics have been deprived of Gareth Bale facing his old club as he is out injured but there is still a real sense of anticipation and excitement in and around Wembley - any game against Real Madrid is special. Harry Kane's return after a hamstring injury is the big news for Spurs, who have looked highly accomplished in this tough Champions League group and look in great shape to reach the knockout phase.

    Time, guys.

    They just need some time. Liverpool are top of Group E but they cannot qualify tonight, no matter what happens.

    There’s a buzz about Wembley and why not? The visit of Real Madrid always quickens the pulse. There are so many fascinating match ups all over the pitch but there’s every chance one of Ronaldo or Kane could be hogging the headlines tonight.

    Both have five Champions League goals this season but Kane has 13 goals in 12 appearances compared to Ronaldo’s seven in 11.

    Real Madrid haven’t lost a group game since 2012. Is tonight the night? Commentary with these two.

    I think we are in for a real treat this evening. Napoli really have to win to give themselves a good chance of qualifying.

    We all know Manchester City won't play for a draw even though that will be enough to see them qualify tonight.

    And if Sergio Aguero wasn't going to break the record in his home stadium, this place would be quite a fitting place given its links with Argentina and Diego Maradona.

    We've been asking who/what in football is the most past their sell-by date, and why. Here's what you reckon...

    James Ashton: Ashley Williams. The sole cause for many goals Everton have conceded this season. Definitely past his sell-by date.

    L Jackson: You’re setting yourselves up to be inundated with Arsenal fans moaning how Arsene Wenger is the most outdated thing in football.
