Manchester City host Atalanta on Tuesday hoping to hand their UEFA Champions League opponents a third defeat in as many Group C matches and extend their lead at the top of the pool.
The Citizens can shore up their chances of a top-two finish if they maintain their perfect start in Group C, while the Italian side are looking to get their campaign off the ground at the Etihad Stadium.
Pep Guardiola’s side are three points clear of the competition entering Matchday 3, with Dinamo Zagreb and Shakhtar Donetsk sitting on three points apiece.
Atalanta are unbeaten away from home in Serie A this season (four wins, one draw), but they are still chasing their first Champions League point.
Live Football – Manchester City Vs Atalanta
Pep Guardiola’s City are looking to make it three wins from three to cement their status as Group C leaders. Serie A outfit Atalanta have lost their first two matches, but returned to winning ways at the weekend.
The bookmakers unsurprisingly make City huge favourites going into this one, while Atalanta are without star striker Duvan Zapata who sustained an injury with Colombia during the international break.
Both sides will be eager to lay down a marker in what will be the first meeting between the two.
