Phil Foden is looking extremely lively while Benjamin Mendy is playing almost as a left winger.

Zero ambition from Olympiakos. City are being allowed so much time and space on the ball. The Greek champions are playing a very dangerous game.

Another sweeping move by City and Gabriel Jesus with another attempt. Surely it's only a matter of time?

A lazy clearance by keeper Jose Sa straight to Gabriel Jesus just outside the penalty area. He's lucky to get away with that. Then Phil Foden finds room inside the penalty area to get a shot away which the keeper blocks. It's all City.

They're the home team Olympiakos, but it's Manchester City and they're not going to come out.

They only have one player in Fortounis up the pitch.

All they're doing is lumping it forward.

Olympiakos are treating this like an away game.

They're sitting deep as City ping it around the pitch.

They dominated possession against Spurs at the weekend and came away with nothing.

Surely not a repeat here?

Crumbs!

A pile-driver from Rodri straight at Jose Sa after Benjamin Mendy's cross is half cleared. That was going at 100mph.

Bright and breezy start by City.

Olympiakos are playing in their famous red and white. A couple of early touches for veteran defender Rafinha, who served Pep Guardiola well at Bayern Munich. City are attacking in numbers right from the off.

Away we go in Piraeus.

A point will do for City for a place in the last 16.

The teams line up in the centre circle and the referee blows his whistle. An impeccable minute's silence in memory of the great Diego Maradona.

Here comes the sides and both teams are going to pay tribute to Diego Maradona before kick-off.

This is the second meeting between Olympiakos and Manchester City in three weeks after City ran out 3-0 winners at the Etihad.

Since then City have drawn against Liverpool and lost to Tottenham in the Premier League, and currently sit 13th in the table - eight points off the pace.

"The season is still young and I'm fully optimistic we are going to do a good season," said Pep Guardiola.

In four attempts Pep Guardiola has not taken Manchester City beyond the Champions League quarter-finals.

But Guardiola says guiding the club to a first European Cup triumph is not "an obsession" that preys on him.

"We will try our best," he said on the eve of his side's game in Greece. "We have an important chance to almost qualify. That's so good, to be in the best 16 teams in Europe.

"I expected a reaction after last season when we finished against Lyon in Portugal. We know what we have to do."

A reminder about the sad news that broke about an hour ago.

Football legend Diego Maradona, one of the greatest players of all time, has died at the age of 60.

You can follow tributes and reaction here.
