Manchester City will begin their bid to win a second Champions League trophy when they welcome Serie A champions Inter Milan to the Etihad Stadium for Wednesday's contest.
The 2022-23 European champions will carry significant momentum into the midweek clash after making a fast start to their quest to clinch a fifth consecutive Premier League title.
Pep Guardiola's side have claimed victories over Chelsea, Ipswich Town, West Ham United and Brentford to move to the top of the Premier League table, and they will now look to carry that impressive form onto the European stage.
