Pep Guardiola’s team have enjoyed a perfect start in Europe this season, defeating Porto and Marseille in their opening matches. However, City have stuttered in the early stages of the Premier League and are currently ranked 10th in the table, with Sergio Agüero once again ruled out through injury.
Olympiacos, who beat Arsenal in the Europa League last season, defeated Marseille 1-0 in their first group stage match before losing 2-0 to Porto. They remain steadfast underdogs against City, but are undefeated domestically and should still provide a severe test. Follow all the action below:
57 minutes: Great, great opportunity for Valbuena. City tries to play from behind while Ederson gives it to Foden. He blinds the ball back into his own box and finds Valbuena, whose shot is deflected from the open goal after being pressed by the Stones.

54 minutes: Cisses passes the ball outside his area but only chooses a man in blue. Foden picks up the ball on the edge of the box, spins and hits one. There isn’t much power behind the shot and Sa ducks down to smother him.

51 minutes: The corner almost took Camara out but he couldn’t connect well with a header and the ball bounced through the area. Olympiacos are playing much higher up, putting pressure on City when playing from behind and it’s working for them.

48 minutes: Cisses lifts a foot high and his heels chop off Torres’ leg for City to win a free kick. The set piece is well defended and Bruma can break for the visitors. He is quite fast and wins a corner with a center to the area.

45 minutes: Half time. Ferran Torres’ fourth goal in as many Champions League games gives Manchester City a well-deserved advantage at half-time.
Pep Guardiola will be disappointed that it’s not over, but on the bright side, Olympiacos haven’t really threatened Ederson in City’s goal.

39 minutes: José Sa keeps Olympiacos in the contest. City send the ball to Mahrez and Foden makes a dash through the area. Mahrez takes it out and Foden places the ball in the six-yard box. Torres and Sterling are waiting, but Sa sends the ball away and it is cleared by the Greek side.

36 minutes: the city is still looking for the second goal. They worked the ball into the box with a series of one-touch passes. De Bruyne prepares Mahrez, whose shot is blocked. He bounces towards Gundogan and wins a corner with a shot from outside the area that deflects to corner.
