Manchester City will be looking to make it nine games unbeaten in all competitions when they face Villarreal tonight.
City are desperate to avoid a repeat of last season's Champions League disaster, which saw them dumped out of the competition by Real Madrid in the play-off round, having failed to finish in the top eight of the league table.
A win at the Estadio de la Cerámica tonight would see them take a huge stride towards qualification for the next stage of the competition.
In terms of the team news, Rodri and Abdukodir Khusanov have not travelled with the squad, but Rayan Ait-Nouri could make his City return after being included in the 22-man travelling squad.
City have taken four points from their two Champions League games so far, beating Napoli and drawing with Monaco.
Villarreal have enjoyed a bright start to the season. They sit third in La Liga, although they have just one point from their first two Champions League games, having lost at Tottenham before securing a draw with Juventus.
