City are looking to return to winning ways in our 20:00 (UK) kick-off in Portugal on Tuesday 5 November.
The trip follows our 2-1 south coast defeat to Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon. But now our attention turns fully to our Champions League test.
MONDAY MARKER | THE WEEK AHEAD
City sit third in the newly formatted League Phase with Guardiola‘s side picking up seven points in our first three games.
A home draw against Inter Milan followed by respective 4-0 and 5-0 wins over Slovan Bratislava and Sparta Prague means City have a positive goal difference of nine which could be vitally important in the league standings once all eight games are played.
Our opponents, Sporting CP, sit eighth, level on points with City after their two wins and one draw in the competition so far.
Looking to maintain our momentum in the prestigious European competition, Guardiola‘s squad took to the City Football Academy training pitches to finalise preparations on Monday morning before flying to Portugal.
