Manchester City vs Lyon
Uefa Champions League 2018/19
Venue: Etihad Stadium
Date: Wednesday 19 September 2018
Kick-off: 8pm BST

Manchester City, the champions of England, kick off their Champions League campaign at home to French side Lyon.

Pep Guardiola's side were knocked out of last year's competition by eventual finalists Liverpool, courtesy of a 5-1 aggregate defeat.

Success in Europe remains the holy grail for City. Guardiola won this title with Barcelona but is yet to take City beyond the quarter-final stage, and getting off to a winning start in Group F will be key.
