Preview: Viktoria Plzen vs. Manchester City

Sports Mole previews Manchester City's trip to Czech champions Viktoria Plzen in Group D of the Champions League.

Manchester City get their Champions League campaign underway on Tuesday when they travel to Czech champions Viktoria Plzen in Group D.

The Blues will be hoping to improve on their last two years in the tournament after failing to get out of the group stage both times.

Manager Manuel Pellegrini has been given a boost ahead of the match with the news that captain Vincent Kompany has travelled with the squad following a groin injury.

Plzen, whose only previous appearance in the group stage of the competition came two years ago, should be full of confidence thanks to a solid start to the season with four wins and two draws.
