Gareth Taylor‘s side face the Austrian champions on Thursday 12 December looking to maintain our 100% record in Group D to five matches.
Kick-off at the Joie Stadium is set for 20:00 (UK), with the Blues having already secured our spot in the knockout stages after a 2-1 win at Hammarby last time out.
However, top spot in Group D is still up for grabs with City currently in the driver’s seat ahead of reigning European champions Barcelona.
Just three points separate the sides, so a victory over St Polten would be a huge step towards securing first place for the Blues ahead of our trip to Catalonia next Wednesday.

Our impressive start to the Champions League campaign hasn’t been without its struggles though, including a hard-fought 3-2 win over Thursday’s opponents in Vienna.
Despite a stunning early strike from Alanna Kennedy, City found ourselves behind early in the second half on a difficult playing surface.
However, goals from Aoba Fujino and Mary Fowler were enough to grab all three points and avoid an upset.
Gareth Taylor said he and his team learned a lot from that encounter in his pre-match press conference and the players will be hard at work on the training pitch to ensure we’re at our best ahead of the latest showdown with St Polten.
