Evening all. It's rare we can assert with certainty that anything, never mind a game of football, is going to be great. But this, definitely and indisputably, is going to great. Dig in!

Anyway, that's us - enjoy the rest of your nights!
Anyway, that was a really good game in the end, even if the teams took it in turns to raise things. City look very strong indeed, not just in terms of how well they move the ball but in terms of how they responded to setbacks. No one will fancy pulling them in the knockouts.
So City qualify for the last 16, while Napoli need two wins and Shakhtar to lose twice.
Full-time: Napoli 2-4 Manchester City
Mertens has had enough, whacking Sterling across the back of the knees. He's booked.
GOAL! Napoli 2-4 Manchester City (Sterling) De Bruyne chugs forward, a tired Napoli stand off, and when he slides into Sterling, a lovely touch gets the ball out of his feet and the truest of drives flies into the far bottom corner. What a player he now is!
Ounas skates down the line and Otamendi can't help himself, sliding in, getting all ball and no ball; he's booked.
Silva eases down the left, evades two challengers with masterful footwork, cuts back and Silva is wide with his shot.
Liverpool lead Maribor 3-0; Spurs lead Madrid 3-1.
Jesus replaces Sane, who's been great again.
Lovely from Bernardo, flicking the ball with the outside of his foot, turning onto it, and whizzing forward. The attack peters out, but it's just another example of how many options City have.
David Silva likes apple crumble and custard. More news as I get it.
Lovely from City, Silva leasering a low pass out to Sane, who cuts back for Bernardo, who sweeps a shot towards the far corner, but not hard enough to seriously trouble the diving Reina.
City are knocking it about confidently. They're a serious threat to win this thing now, though it doesn't really matter who does what at this point; the question is whether they'll be fit and in form come March.
A word also for Sane, whose dash from halfway made what looks like being the winning goal. He is such a beautiful mover, with that willowy strength to boot which makes him very difficult to unload.
Sergio Aguero, though. There are adults, many of them, who think Alan Shearer was a better player than him.
Change for City: Onas replaces Jorginho.
Shakhtar now lead Feyenoord 3-1; Napoli are going out of this competition, not tonight but presently.
Koulibaly dwels on the ball inside his own box and is nearly mugged by De Bruyne, in the end doing well to shepherd the ball back to Reina.
