Team News
City have doubts over the fitness of Antoine Semenyo, Mateo Kovacic and Matheus Nunes, who all picked up knocks in Saturday's 3-2 win over Ipswich.
Erling Haaland was hobbling at the end of that victory and he is expected to be dropped down to the bench, while Nico O'Reilly is missing with a back problem.
Mijat Gacinovic has shaken off a knee issue picked up in the loss to Shakhtar, meaning AEK Athens have a full squad to choose from.
Need to know
City bounced back from the European loss to PSG with Saturday's victory over Ipswich, a result which means the Citizens have won their first seven games of a Premier League season for the first time.
AEK have already suffered a Champions League defeat in England this season, having lost to Shakhtar at Stamford Bridge on matchday two.
Prediction
Given PSG are the only team to leave the Etihad Stadium with a win this season, it looks like a mammoth challenge for AEK Athens to get a positive result when they head to Man City.
The Citizens have won five of their six home matches and they notched another three goals in Saturday’s win over Ipswich, taking their league to 19 in seven games.
A home win looks likely, but AEK can play their part in an entertaining clash and they should be backed to find the back of the net.
The Greek side have scored at least once in 11 games in a row and they can trouble a Citizens defence with no clean sheet in their last three home fixtures.
Rayan Cherki may shoulder more attacking responsibility with doubts over Semenyo and Haaland and the Frenchman, who has three goals in his last four appearances, can add to his tally.
Round off the bet builder with Razvan Marin to commit at least two fouls, which he has done in all four of Athens' European clashes this season.
