Manchester City vs Galatasaray kick-off time

Champions League - Champions League

Etihad Stadium

Today's game between Manchester City and Galatasaray will kick off at 15:00 EST and 20:00 GMT.

Match preview

City's superb run of 10 victories and three draws in 13 matches across all competitions seems like a long time ago. A loss to Man United in the league was followed by a shock 3-1 defeat at Bodo Glimt, a result which sees Pep Guardiola's side sitting 11th in the league phase table. They're outside the top eight on goal difference, level on eight teams on 13 points, meaning a win over Galatasaray and other results going their way will be required to avoid the stressful two-leg play-offs to reach the last 16.

Galatasaray hold a two-point lead over 25th and 26th-placed Napoli and Copenhagen, but could still be eliminated on the final day. It's going to be a tense night in Manchester.

Meanwhile, Galatasaray will be without Enes Buyuk, Wilfried Singo, Arda Unyay and Metehan Baltaci due to injury and suspension.

Nigerian superstar Victor Osimhen has scored six goals in five Champions League games this term.

>How to watch on the Big Screen

Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:

• Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
• Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
