Manchester City and CSKA Moscow are playing live on the Champions League group schedule and the game is from the Etihad Stadium at 2:45 pm ET and streaming online from Fox Soccer 2Go and on TV from Fox Sports 2 as Man City hosts the second leg matchup after a draw in Russia and this is a big game for the team as they try and get to the knockout stage of the UCL.
The two teams do not like each other and after some racist issues with Yaya Toure last year, things have continued and CSKA did not give Man City the proper food after the match last time out. The teams have sniped back and forth and it comes after Manchester City pulled a draw last time 2-2 and they got a goal from Sergio Aguero to open things and they will need to play tough at home to get the win.
David Silva will be out for three weeks for Man City and that means he will miss this match and the team is hoping for a strong performance in this game. The starters likely will be playing and that was the opposite of what Liverpool did on Tuesday against Real Madrid. The Citizens come in at third on the Premier League table and they last won against Man United on the schedule and the last Champs League matchup was against Moscow in Russia and that was the 2-2 draw in front of the empty stadium.
Coming up the team has a tough matchup with Bayern Munich, but that at least will be at home. Bayern takes on Roma on Wednesday and coming up, Man City will play against Roma on the road and they also have EPL matchups with Southampton, Sunderland, Everton and Leicester City through the mid December schedule. Aleksandar Kolarov was out for the Manchester Derby and there is a chance that Frank Lampard could get into this game as well. Man City has been able to score in their matchups against Moscow, but they need to play better on the back end this time around.
Man City comes in against Moscow, while Barcelona will be playing Ajax and Chelsea will be playing against Maribor away. Chelsea comes in at first on the EPL table right now and they are clear of Man City and the two teams likely will be there at the end. Real Madrid advanced to the next stage with their win against Liverpool on Tuesday and they should be the favorites after winning it all last year.
