Manchester City will host Galatasaray in a highly anticipated Champions League clash, while Napoli take on Chelsea in another key group-stage fixture.

Man City vs Galatasaray

Manchester City will welcome Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen and Galatasaray to the Etihad Stadium in what promises to be a compelling match. The Turkish side will be looking to upset City’s dominance and secure vital points in the group standings.

City, known for their high-intensity style and strong squad depth, will aim to control the game and maintain their position as favourites to advance to the knockout stages. Galatasaray, on the other hand, will rely on Osimhen’s goal-scoring threat and tactical discipline to challenge the Premier League champions.

Napoli vs Chelsea

In another key fixture, Napoli will host Chelsea in a matchup that could prove decisive for both teams’ hopes of progressing in the competition.

Napoli, playing on home soil, will look to use their attacking prowess and tactical cohesion to dominate the game. Chelsea, under pressure to perform in Europe, will aim to respond with a strong display and secure a positive result away from home.
