Manchester City host Juventus in the Champions League, and the teams have been announced.
Manchester City kick off their Champions League campaign with a huge fixture against Juventus.
City will want to begin with a home win, but back-to-back Serie A champions Juventus are a tough proposition.
City are in good form, with a 100 per cent record in the Premier League, but star striker Sergio Aguero misses out through injury suffered at the weekend against Crystal Palace.
Juventus reached the final last season, beaten by Barcelona, and bring formidable midfielder Paul Pogba back to Manchester for a must-see clash in midfield with Yaya Toure.
He is not the only former Manchester United player to be involved, with 2008 Champions League winner Patrice Evra part of the Juventus squad.
Juventus are missing two key players from last year’s runners-up side, midfielder Arturo Vidal and former City striker Carlos Tevez, with both being sold over the summer.
