Manchester City v FC Copenhagen live stream and match preview
Looking for a Manchester City v FC Copenhagen live stream? We've got you covered.
Manchester City will aim to continue their perfect start to the Champions League when FC Copenhagen visit the Etihad on Wednesday night.
Pep Guardiola’s side are flying high, sitting top of Group G on six points, five clear of the Danish visitors.
City opened their European campaign with a 4-0 thrashing of Sevilla and followed that up by beating Borussia Dortmund 2-1, responding to a Jude Bellingham goal with late strikes from John Stones and Erling Haaland.
The Norwegian striker has been in unstoppable form this season and that continued with a hat-trick in a 6-3 thrashing of rivals Manchester United on Sunday.
Phil Foden also bagged three goals in a stunning attacking display from the Citizens, who have now won four games in a row in all competitions.
Working out a plan to deal with Haaland will be top of Copenhagen’s agenda, as the 22-year-old’s tally for the season so far stands at 17 goals in 11 games in all competitions.
The Danish champions lost 3-0 at Dortmund on the opening day, but picked up a 0-0 draw at home to Sevilla last time out.
They haven’t been in hot form recently, though; a 1-0 victory at home to Aarhus on Sunday was welcome after a four-match winless run.
Stones is injured for City after damaging his hamstring while on England duty, but Aymeric Laporte is approaching a return and Rodri could be back after missing out against United.
Kalvin Phillips is out with a shoulder problem.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Champions League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Champions League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
