Copenhagen attacker Mohamed Daramy has insisted that his side will have to work extremely hard to cause an upset when they face off against Manchester City in the Champions League on Wednesday.
Pep Guardiola's men secured a 6-3 victory over rivals Manchester United in the derby at the weekend, with Erling Haaland and Phil Foden both scoring hat-tricks against the Reds. City have won six of their opening eight Premier League matches, and have made an impressive start to their Champions League campaign.
City defeated Sevilla and Borussia Dortmund in their opening two Champions League group stage matches, while their opponents on Wednesday night have registered just one point from their first two Group G games.

The Danish outfit have already lost six games in the league this season, but Daramy has insisted that Copenhagen have to avoid being 'scared' when they come up against the reigning Premier League champions.
Daramy, who is on loan from Ajax and has scored one goal so far this term, also claimed that the team were desperate to not be on the receiving end of a City drubbing, before making a cheeky Man United dig.
"[Manchester] City must win and almost smash us, you could say, but we must have the right mindset and not get too scared, and then we also have a game on Saturday", Daramy said, as per Danish outlet Bold.dk.
"You know what kind of match it will be. We have to work our bottoms off so that they don’t win. Everyone knows that it will be really difficult, so we have to go out and give our best and not get a proper drubbing, like United did."
Daramy has previously revealed that he supports United, and that his favourite player is England international Marcus Rashford.
