Tue Nov 05 23:46:50 UTC 2024: ## Manchester City Face Sporting CP in Champions League Clash Amidst Recent Slump
Manchester City travel to Portugal on Wednesday, November 6th, to face Sporting CP in their UEFA Champions League clash. The match kicks off at 1:30 AM IST and will be televised on the Sony Sports Network and streamed on Sony Liv.
City enter the game on the back of consecutive defeats to Tottenham in the League Cup and Bournemouth in the Premier League, ending an 11-month unbeaten run in the top flight. Manager Pep Guardiola will face a familiar face in Sporting CP boss Ruben Amorim, who will take charge of the Portuguese champions for the last time before joining Manchester United.
The two sides last met in the 2021/22 Champions League Round of 16, where City secured a convincing 5-0 victory in Portugal. Both teams have started the new Champions League format strongly, with seven points each from their first three matches.
The match promises to be a compelling encounter as City seek to bounce back from their recent setbacks, while Sporting CP will be aiming to cause an upset against their formidable opponents.
