Good evening and welcome to LIVE coverage of the Champions League Group E opener between Bayern Munich and Manchester City from the Allianz Arena.

Boateng throws a high free-kick into the heart of the City box, but Hart is quickly off his line to collect.

Hart certainly showing his class so far in that City goal. The England international appears to be at the top of his game.

Another chance for Austrian international Alaba, who sees a shot at goal blocked by Hart in the City goal. Super stop by Hart.

Alaba has a go at goal from distance, but he can't direct the shot at goal as the shot flies wide.

Dzeko decides to go for goal from distance, but he screws the shot a few yards wide of goal.

Foul by Boateng on Dzeko. Clear foul there as he pushed Boateng in the back. But on we go with the score still level at 0-0.

Dzeko with the looping header from the Nasri corner, but easy for Neuer to collect in the end. Game fairly even so far.

City break up the play in the middle of the park. Decent cross by Navas, but Boateng makes the intervention to prevent Dzeko from getting a free shot at goal.

Bayern again slowing it down from deep. Thet do it so well of course before injecting some pace into their attacks.

That Gotze effort actually came off the arm of Kompany before Hart was forced to make the stop. A solid piece of goalkeeping.

City doing well to hold up the ball when they retrieve it from Bayern. Looking comfortable enough on the break.

Dzeko with a curling effort from 20 yards that flies inches wide. Lovely counter attack from the Premier League champions.

Muller this time plays provider to set up Gotze with the cross, but that is a fantastic stop by Hart. Excellent stuff again.

Bayern starting to move the ball here with a bit more menace. Worrying moments these for City.

Brilliant stop by Hart to deny Muller with that header. Alaba with the cross for Muller's header. That was a stunning stop.

Silva taking a corner here for City. Sagna wins the ball in the air, but can't direct the header at the home goal. Easy enough take for Neuer.

Bayern Munich have won only one of their last five Champions League games against English clubs at the Allianz Arena (D2 L2).

Manchester City have conceded exactly two goals in each of their last five Champions League games.

City's first chance of the match comes from Dzeko, and it is the only shot on target between both sides so far.

Navas stopped in his tracks by a Boateng tackle after a bright Bayern attacking move broke down.
