Haaland, Foden, Grealish...surely we're going to see a goal or three.

It's the hosts who get the ball rolling.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola was concerned about his players' ability to maintain their high standards following last season's Treble success.

In his programme notes tonight, Guardiola expresses his delight and their response.

"I am so happy with the start to the season," he said. "I can see my players are hungry and want more success.

"For a manager, nothing can beat this. To have players who are so driven, professional, consistent and determined is all you can ask for.

"If we stay in this mindset, we will be challenging for trophies at the end of the season."

I think you will Pep, I think you will.

Manchester City are unbeaten in their past 16 Champions League games since losing 3-1 away to Real Madrid in the semi-finals in May 2022.

Of those 16 games, 11 have been wins while City have scored 41 times.

The last time Pep Guardiola's side failed to score on the Champions League stage was more than a year ago on 25 October 2022 when they were held 0-0 by Borussia Dortmund in Germany.

Kyle Walker takes over as captain.

No Manuel Akanji as the teams emerge. Kyle Walker is drafted into the starting XI at late notice.

Spectacular light show at the Etihad. They might not like the anthem but City's fans certainly enjoy Champions League nights.

Young Boys are top of the Swiss Super League and on the same day Manchester City were putting six past Bournemouth at the weekend, Young Boys won 4-1 away to Winterthur.

City defeated Young Boys 3-1 in Switzerland a fortnight ago to move within another victory of securing their place in the last 16.

It would be a surprise if the hosts did not book their passage into the knockout stages but Young Boys boss Raphael Wicky is ruling nothing out.

"I think the most important thing is to believe that in football everything is possible, that you can, in one game, beat the best teams," said the former Switzerland midfielder.

"Lots of teams have shown that and I was able to live it five years ago [when his FC Basel team defeated City in the Champions League]. I think we have to transmit that to the team."

Manchester City have made the Etihad Stadium a fortress during 2023.

Pep Guardiola's side have won every single home game during the calendar year.

They took their tally to 22 with the 6-1 win over Bournemouth on Saturday. It was the second time in that run they have scored six. There was also a five and a seven against RB Leipzig in March.

Sunderland hold the English record with 24 successive home wins, a record that dates back to 1891 and 1892.

If they get through tonight, Liverpool are the next visitors to this stadium.

Manuel Akanji disappeared down the tunnel during the warm-ups talking to City's medical staff. We'll keep you posted if the hosts are forced into a late change.

All eyes on Milan v PSG now for Newcastle to see what faces them when they next take to the field in Paris...

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, speaking to TNT Sports: "In this period, I have confidence in all the players. I decide for these players and everyone will be involved.

"The starting XI is very, very strong.

"Young Boys are fast in the transition and are very strong. We will try to move them and go for it."

Holders Manchester City will qualify for the knockout stage with two games to spare with a win.

That will enable Pep Guardiola to rest players for the two remaining games ahead of Premier League home matches against Tottenham on 3 December and Crystal Palace 13 days later.

Champions League nights are events.

With two goals at each end, host broadcaster TNT on the pitch, various overseas broadcasters on the touchline, desks and cameras everywhere the photographers as well, there are a huge number of people around the pitch before the game.

And this for a routine match, where Manchester City are massive favourites.

Cheers Phil. It's another wet one in Manchester. A night for umbrellas, hats, hoods, big coats and wellies.

That's all from me.

I'll leave you in the very capable hands of Neil Johnston, who will talk you through Man City v Young Boys.

The big chance fell to Joelinton and if he scores that it makes it 1-1 and Newcastle are in the ascendancy.

They have it all to do now.

Newcastle’s injuries were always going to make life tough tonight. But they were architects of their own downfall. Both goals were avoidable.

That Joelinton chance aside, it never really felt like they would score. Now they head to Paris knowing their Champions League hopes hang by a thread.

Dortmund were clinical but they didn’t need to be at their best.

Newcastle fans sing their hearts out, as the players applaud back.

We're deep into stoppage time in Hamburg and Shakhtar Donetsk have the ball in the net.

Newerton thinks he's added a late second for the hosts, but the teenager's effort is ruled out for a narrow offside.

The hosts are inching towards a huge win.
