Manchester City host Feyenoord on their return to UEFA Champions League action on November 26.
Pep Guardiola is looking to turn around his worst run of form as a manager with the Premier League champions losing five successive games across all competitions as a result of last weekend's shock 4-0 home defeat to Tottenham.
Ahead of a crucial trip to EPL leaders Liverpool this weekend, Guardiola will be looking to gain a morale-boosting victory that will set his team firmly on course for the Champions League knockouts.
Arne Slot led Feyenoord to second place in the Dutch Eredivisie last season before his move to Anfield, and his old team have picked up six points from four Champions League games so far, just one fewer than City.
