Evening all and welcome to Manchester City v Club Brugge!

Increasingly, it's looking like Sterling's future is away from City. He's only started five games this season but here he is now, tiptoeing past Nsoki before Hendry hurls his body in front of the eventuating low shot.

Two changes for City, Jesus and Sterling replacing Grealish and Mahrez.

Gabriel Jesus is readying himself.

Ederson snaffles the ball and immediately kicks out of his hands, sending a pass the length of the pitch towards Foden. But Mignolet is wise to the ruse, rushing out to clear.

Brugge are bushed, and when Bernardo intercepts a loose pass, he zooms into the box and sends Hendry for a deep fried Mars bar with a well-timed shimmy. But his touch is a little heavy and the ball runs behind.

Bernardo chips a ball into the box and Mata heads away ... onto Gaundogan's laces. But he can only lash his shot high.

"Has a degree in political science among his goalkeeping attributes," Ian Darke says of Simon Mignolet, seeing a connection I didn't know was there.

Vormer clatters Laporte and seeks a scuffle thereafter, but nothing doing.

Sobol drives in off the left and for a second looks to be making ground, but then Bernardo slides in to unload him, while Guardiola grimaces and gesticulates on the touchline.

That goal will have seriously deflated Brugge, who tossed all that good work with a moment's lack of concentration.

GOAL! Manchester City 2-1 Club Brugge (Mahrez) Brugge attack and De Ketelaere takes the ball down well but shoots just wide, then City take advantage of the gaps that attack left. Cancelo retrieves a Mahrez cross that zipped across the box to chip a cross onto yerman's head, and he punishes past Mignolet from five yards.

The second half has begun like the first, with Brugge penned in. City get the ball out to Bernardo, who skates adroitly around the outside of Sobol, but runs over the by-line, just.

I say that, but Brugge don't get the ball away properly, and when Cancelo curls to the back post, both Stones and Laporte are up, the former heading down but too close to Mignolet.

Nice from City, Grealish finding Foden who finds Cancelo, and his curler flicks off De Ketelaere, the ball whistling just past the far angle. That touch might just've saved a goal, and the resultant corner comes to nowt.

Grealish, back on the left, finds Cancelo, but his low cross is blocked away by Hendry. The Scotland international is having a decent game.

Walker spanks a low pass into Grealish, who knocks off first-time for Mahrez. But his first touch takes him a little wide, and Mignolet saves the ensuing low shot with his feet.

There's a touch of Arsenal about this City team. Obviously they're much better than arsenal, but towards the end of his time there, Arsene Wenger filled his team with lovely attacking midfielders with no power and pace, and that's what we're seeing from City here, just with better players.

We go again...

City have dominated, but they've not played well, while Brugge are organised and disciplined at the back.
