Hello and welcome to LIVE commentary as Manchester City clash with Napoli in the Champions League. It's the side top of the Premier League against the team top of Serie A so this should be a belter. Kick-off at the Etihad Stadium is at 19:45 GMT.

Jesus wins a corner down the left. Its played short to Sane, his cross is deep and Fernandinho's header from an acute angle goes into the side netting.

That was a typical sweeping move. Sane to Silva to Jesus and Sterling was there to slot the ball in to continue his impressive goalscoring form.

GOAL FOR CITY! Silva's cutback finds Jesus whose shot is blocked, it falls to Sterling around eight yards out whose rebound takes a slight deflection and goes in.

GOOD DEFENDING: Stones does well to cover and intercept a ball for the full-back Ghoulam.

In the other game in this group, Berghuis has given Feyenoord the lead against Shakhtar.

Bright start from City, they are pinging the ball around confidently. De Bruyne is then harshly penalised for a foul on Koulibaly near the Napoli box.

Delph is playing at left back but is getting forward in the early stages in a midfield role, City showing their intent.

KICK OFF: The hosts get the game underway.

The Champions League anthem is belted out on the speakers which leads to jeering from some home fans.

Five minutes till kick-off at the Etihad!

Pep Guardiola believes it will be a great game due to the opposition's attacking threat including Belgium’s Dries Mertens, who has 13 goals in 19 games this season.“I’m pretty sure it will be a fascinating game,” he said.

“They have three guys that are so dynamic. [Lorenzo] Insigne, Mertens and [Jose] Callejon. They are not guys to just receive long balls. They are so dynamic, good in small spaces and they run in behind and just the right tempo, especially Callejon.”

Napoli have never won an away game against English opposition in all competitions, losing five of their six trips and conceding 15 goals and scoring only three. And none of their 12 Champions League away games have ended goalless.

Napoli, who have three points from two group games, are battling Shakhtar Donetsk and Feyenoord for second place in Group F as it stands.

Maurizio Sarri believes Manchester City are the strongest team in Europe and he did not want to watch too many of City's games as he did not want to get "depressed".

"The feeling I get watching Man City play, I didn't even get watching Real Madrid last year. I always felt my team could give opponents a hard time, but this time I think Man City are a formidable team

"But if we want to play at a certain level, we have to do it in important matches and aim at achieving results.I watched a few matches. I didn't want to watch all of them because I didn't want to get depressed. I think Man City are by far the strongest team in Europe at the moment."

Napoli owner Aurelio De Laurentiis had called for his side to rest key players tonight ahead of the weekend game with Inter Milan. But the Italians make only two changes to the team that beat Roma at the weekend with Pitor Zielinski and Amadou Diawara replacing Allan and Jorginho.

Reina, Hysaj, Koulibaly, Ghoulam, Albiol, Hamsik, Zielinski, Diawara, Callejon, Mertens, Insigne.

Subs: Sepe, Maggio, Maksimovic, Allan, Jorginho, Rog, Ounas.

Pep Guardiola names an unchanged starting line-up for the third straight game following the impressive wins over Chelsea and Stoke City. Sergio Aguero remains on the bench after recovering from a car crash in Amsterdam.
