Game Preview: Manchester City vs. CSKA Moscow - UEFA Champions League - Tuesday, November 5th, 2013
Manchester City will host CSKA Moskva in Group D of the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday, November 5th at the Ethiad stadiumThis is a big game for Manchester City who are looking to qualify to the UCL round of 16 for the first time. Man City know that the first place in the group is going to Bayern, and that the only other contender for second place is Moscow's CSKA. Manuel Pellegrini, the City coach, is going to go all out to win this one. And so will the Russian side.

They beat Newcastle 0-2 in the cup and then sank Norwich 7-0 at home in the league. If they beat Spartak again in the UCL on Tuesday, Sergio Aguero and company are free sailing.
The score in Moscow, two weeks ago, was 1-2 for Manchester City.
The odds for the upcoming match in Manchester are as follows;
Man City:1/6
Draw: 13/2
CSKA: 15/1
