Match backgroundManchester City FC lost out to SSC Napoli when the teams last met, but the English club are flying high in Group F asthey look to make it three wins from three.

• Having beaten Feyenoord 4-0 away before a 2-0 home win against FC Shakhtar Donetsk, Josep Guardiola's sidehave opened up a three-point cushion at the head of the standings. Shakhtar and Napoli, who were defeated 2-1 inUkraine on matchday one but bounced back with a 3-1 victory at home to Feyenoord, are three points back.

• City's first match in the UEFA Champions League was at home to Napoli six years ago; the Partenopei have neverwon away to English clubs in five previous attempts.

Previous meetings• The teams' only past encounters came in the 2011/12 group stage, City's debut UEFA Champions Leaguecampaign, when they drew 1-1 in Manchester on matchday one. Edinson Cavani gave Walter Mazzarri's visitors a69th-minute lead; Aleksandar Kolarov equalised for City, then managed by Roberto Mancini, five minutes later.

• The line-ups at the City of Manchester Stadium on 14 September 2011 were:Manchester City: Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany, Lescott, Kolarov (Clichy 75), Barry, Y Touré, Nasri (Johnson 76), Silva,Džeko (Tévez 81), Agüero.Napoli: De Sanctis, Maggio, P Cannavaro, Zúñiga, Gargano, Aronica, Campagnaro, Inler, Hamšík (Santana 89),Lavezzi (Džemaili 58), Cavani (Pandev 84).

• Napoli came out on top in the matchday five sequel in Italy, however, Cavani scoring twice (17, 49) either side ofMario Balotelli's 33rd-minute goal to secure a 2-1 home victory.

• That win proved crucial as Napoli finished on 11 points in second place, one point and one place higher than theirEnglish rivals.

Match backgroundManchester City• This is the fourth time City have been drawn in the same UEFA Champions League group as opponents from Italy.In 2014/15 they collected four points from AS Roma (1-1 home, 2-0 away) but in the most recent Anglo-Italian contest,against Juventus in 2015/16, they lost 2-1 at home and 1-0 away.

• That defeat by Juve in Manchester was City's first at home to Italian visitors and means they have won none of theirlast four home games against Serie A sides (D3 L1) – having achieved victories in both the first two.

• The win at Roma is City's only success in their last eight meetings with Italian clubs, home and away (D4 L3).

• City are unbeaten in their last 11 home matches in the UEFA Champions League (W8 D3), qualifying included, sincethat Juventus reversal on matchday one in 2015/16. The Juve loss was their fourth in six fixtures at the City ofManchester Stadium, with just one win in that run.

• Josep Guardiola's men took seven points at home in last season's group stage, beating VfL BorussiaMönchengladbach (4-0) and FC Barcelona (3-1) before a 1-1 draw with Celtic FC.

• Third in last season's Premier League, City are making a seventh straight UEFA Champions League appearance –they have progressed to the round of 16 or beyond in each of the last four campaigns.

• Last term, Guardiola's team came second in their section and lost on away goals to AS Monaco FC in the last 16 (5-3 home, 1-3 away).

Napoli• The Partenopei are unbeaten in their last three games against Premier League clubs (W2 D1), since a 2-0 loss atArsenal FC in the 2013/14 group stage. That was their third reverse in four trips to England, the 2011 draw at City theonly time they avoided defeat in that run.

• Most recently, Napoli drew 0-0 at Swansea City AFC in the 2013/14 UEFA Europa League round of 32 first leg,winning 3-1 at home.

• The draw at Swansea gave Napoli the record W0 D2 L3 away to Premier League sides. In contrast, they have wonfour of their five home matches, drawing the other.

• Defeat at Shakhtar on matchday one was Napoli's third in ten European away fixtures since the start of 2015/16 (W6D1). They picked up seven points away from home in last year's group stage.

• Napoli are in the group stage for the second year running. In 2016/17, the Partenopei lost to eventual championsReal Madrid CF in the round of 16, going down 3-1 both away and at home.

Head coachJosep GuardiolaDate of birth: 18 January 1971Nationality: SpanishPlaying career: FC Barcelona, Brescia Calcio (twice), AS Roma, al-Ahly Club, Dorados de SinolaCoaching career: FC Barcelona B, FC Barcelona, FC Bayern München, Manchester City FC

• Known as 'Pep', he came up through Barcelona's youth ranks to win six Spanish Liga titles, one EuropeanChampion Clubs' Cup, a UEFA Cup Winners' Cup and two Copa del Rey trophies from 1990 to 2001. Also had spellswith Brescia, Roma, al-Ahly in Doha and Mexico's Dorados de Sinola before ending his playing career in 2006. Won40 caps and Olympic footballing gold with Spain in 1992, but missed the 1998 and 2002 FIFA World Cups throughinjury.

• Having coached Barcelona's B team, he took charge of the senior side in 2008 and won the UEFA ChampionsLeague, Spanish Liga and Copa del Rey in his first season. In the process he became the sixth man to have lifted theEuropean Cup as player and coach.

• That was just the beginning of a glorious four-season spell which yielded 14 trophies. In his second campaign,Guardiola steered Barcelona to a second Liga title as well as the Spanish and UEFA Super Cups and the FIFA ClubWorld Cup. Even more sucess followed in 2010/11 as Barcelona completed a hat-trick of Spanish titles and, for thesecond time under Guardiola, got the better of Manchester United FC in the UEFA Champions League final.

• In his final season, 2011/12, Guardiola's team won the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup once morebefore he signed off his reign with a second Copa del Rey triumph. After a year's break, Guardiola took charge ofBayern in June 2013, replacing Jupp Heynckes.

• Collected the UEFA Super Cup, FIFA Club World Cup, German Cup and, with a record seven games to spare, theBundesliga title in his first season in Germany. Secured his second successive Bundesliga title the following season,and Bayern again dominated domestically in 2015/16, but all three of Guardiola's UEFA Champions Leaguecampaigns in Bavaria ended in the semi-finals. Opted for a new challenge at Manchester City in summer 2016 but hisfirst year in charge produced Guardiola's first trophy-less campaign as a coach.

Maurizio SarriDate of birth: 10 January 1959Nationality: ItalianCoaching career: ASD Sangiovannese, Pescara Calcio, US Arezzo, US Avellino, Hellas Verona FC, Perugia Calcio,FC Grosseto, US Alessandria Calcio 1912, Sorrento Calcio, Empoli FC, SSC Napoli

• Sarri was born in Naples, when his father was working in a local factory. The family moved back to Tuscany when hewas three, but young Maurizio was always a Napoli fan.

• After a short career as an amateur footballer, Sarri started coaching in the lower divisions in Tuscany while studyingeconomics and working in a bank. In 2000/01 he accepted a job at Sansovino in Serie Eccellenza, the fifth tier,promising he would quit coaching for good if he did not win the league; they duly triumphed.

• After a Serie C1 promotion with Sangiovannese and 11th place in Serie B with Pescara, in 2006/07 Sarri replacedthe sacked Antonio Conte at the helm of Arezzo. His side were relegated but Sarri did oversee a 2-2 away drawagainst a Juventus team that included Gianluigi Buffon, David Trezeguet and Alessandro Del Piero, and a homevictory against AC Milan in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals, although the Rossoneri won on aggregate.

• In 2012 he took the Empoli job and, despite picking up only four points in the first nine games, his side reached theSerie B play-off final, losing to Livorno. The following season he guided Empoli to promotion and Sarri made his SerieA debut in 2014/15, leading the Azzurri to a 15th-place finish with his side earning plaudits for their organised andentertaining football.

• A 4-2 victory against Napoli helped the Partenopei decide to appoint him to replace Rafael Benítez the followingterm. Sarri was an immediate success, leading Napoli to second place in 2015/16, his team scoring five goals morethan eventual champions Juventus. Sarri's side also reached the UEFA Europa League round of 32, beating acompetition record by scoring 22 goals in the group stage.
