Polish football club Lech Poznan comes to town today in a match up of Group A standouts. Both teams are tied atop the group with 4 points and an identical +2 goal differential. Both tied Juventus and easily took care of group bottom dweller Salzburg. 22 year old Latvian forward Artjoms Rudnevs is leading the Railwaymen with 3 goals in Europa league action and is leading his squad looking to compete with the prized players of City.
City has a wealth of players to call on with the deepest pockets in all of football. They will be without Jo, Mario Balotelli, Santa Cruz, and Kolo Toure. Tevez was expected to get the day off but due to injuries and the bad form of Adebayor in the Blackpool match, he may be forced into action.
• The sides are meeting for the first time in UEFA club competition.
• City are five matches unbeaten in European competition, winning four in a row before the 1-1 draw with Juventus on Matchday 2.
• City are eight matches unbeaten at the City of Manchester Stadium in European competition since 14 August 2008, and a 1-0 loss to Denmark's FC Midtjylland in the UEFA Cup second qualifying round.
