Manchester City will be looking to start their UEFA Champions League campaign with a win when they host Napoli in their opening league phase fixture.
The game will see the return of Man City legend Kevin De Bruyne to Etihad Stadium.
De Bruyne left City in the summer after 10 years and moved to Napoli, where he is working under former Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte.
De Bruyne has scored twice as Napoli have made a perfect start to the Serie A season with three wins from three matches.
Man City’s form has been more mixed, with two wins and two defeats from their four Premier League games so far.
They did, though, beat derby rivals Manchester United 3-0 on Sunday, with Erling Haaland scoring twice.
Haaland has scored nine goals in his last four games for club and country, after netting five in an 11-1 win for Norway in the international break.
When is Man City v Napoli?
Man City v Napoli will take place on Thursday, September 18, at Etihad Stadium.
Kick off is at 20:00 UK time, with live coverage on TNT Sports 2 and discovery+ starting from 19:00.
