Man City vs Lyon: TV channel, live stream, squad news & preview

Pep Guardiola's Premier League champions welcome the Ligue 1 outfit as they get their campaign under way

Manchester City begin their quest for Champions League glory on Wednesday when they take on Ligue 1 outfit Lyon.

Despite reaching the semi-finals in 2016, City have struggled to make a real breakthrough in the tournament and, after being knocked out by Liverpool in last season's quarter-final, the pressure is on Pep Guardiola to deliver.

In Lyon the Premier League champions come up against a team which finished third in Ligue 1 last season but failed to make an impact in Europe, crashing out of the Europa League at the last-16 stage after losing to CSKA Moscow.
