City travel to Russia to face CSKA Moscow on Tuesday night, desperate for three points. CSKA Moscow come into the game having failed to secure a single point thus far from their previous encounters in the Champions League. The match will be played in front of an empty stadium after the Russian club were ordered to play three games behind closed doors following their supporters' racist behaviour during last month’s clash with Roma.
Team News
City will be without Lampard who was stretchered off on Saturday during the 4-1 win over Spurs. Toure is likely to return after being left on the bench against Tottenham, while Pablo Zabaleta will also be back. Samir Nasri is still a couple of weeks from making his injury comeback.
CSKA will be missing some of their key men with Swedes Rasmus Elm and Pontus Wernbloom and Russian star Alan Dzagoev all missing due to injuries.
