This probably isn't the match that Pep Guardiola and the Citizens wanted this week. They've flown to Lisbon off the back of a shock defeat at Bournemouth, the likes of Ruben Dias, John Stones and Ballon d'Or winner Rodri on the sick list, and Pep decrying the 'NBA-like' fixture pile-up.

There's a reason why now former manager Rúben Amorim was in such hot demand by City's Manchester rivals. He led Sporting to two Primeira Liga titles in four years and the Verde e Brancos are unbeaten this season. Star striker Viktor Gyökeres is in rich form, netting 16 times in his side's 10 out of 10 wins in the league.

Neither side has lost yet in the revamped Champions League — who will come out on top today? Keep reading as we explain how to watch Sporting vs Man City live streams from anywhere.
