Manchester City head into their Champions League campaign on a high following their impressive victory over Manchester United in Sunday's derby. Pep Guardiola's squad begin their quest for European glory against Kevin De Bruyne's Napoli at the Etihad on Thursday evening.

They are aiming to rectify the shortcomings of last season's European journey, when they barely made it through the revamped league phase before succumbing to Real Madrid 6-3 on aggregate in the play-off round. It was the second consecutive season they were ousted by the 15-time European champions.

The teams are set to clash again in this season's tournament, with City scheduled to play in the Spanish capital on 10 December. City's league phase will also see them face Monaco (away), Villarreal (away), Borussia Dortmund (home), Leverkusen (home) and Bodo/Glimt (away).

The top eight clubs will advance directly to the round of 16, while those finishing ninth to 24th will compete in the play-off round, a stage City are keen to avoid.

But first up is a showdown with Napoli, now under the management of former Chelsea, Tottenham and Italy boss Antonio Conte. Here's all you need to know about the match, including kick-off time, TV channel and streaming information...

The match is set to commence at 8pm on Thursday, 18 September.

The match will be aired live on TNT Sports 2 and the Discovery+ app, with coverage beginning an hour prior to kick-off at 7pm.

The other matches of the night, including Newcastle vs Barcelona, will also be shown across the TNT Sports network and Discovery+. If you're not a subscriber, Discovery+, which provides access to all TNT Sports channels, is priced at £30.99 per month without any long-term commitment.

The most intriguing part of the team news will be whether City legend De Bruyne takes to the pitch.

The brilliant Belgian, 34, is anticipated to start, having acclimatised well following his free agent transfer to Napoli, who are currently leading Serie A after triumphing in all three of their domestic games so far.

For City, with Sunday's clash against Arsenal on the horizon, Guardiola has been contemplating whether to play the now-fit John Stones from the get-go after he was absent from the derby.

Mateo Kovacic, Rayan Cherki, Rayan Ait-Nouri and Omar Marmoush continue to be out of action, while Guardiola might choose to give Rodri a rest, with his recent long injury layoff and Sunday's trip to the Emirates in mind.
