Manchester City host Napoli on Tuesday night in what promises to be a clash between the two most exciting attacking sides in Europe.

Maurizio Sarri, a Naples native who gave up his job in banking to pursue a career in management, has guided the Partenopei to the summit of Serie A this season with eight wins from eight.

With a front three of Dries Mertens, Lorenzo Insigne and Jose Callejon, the Italians will fancy their chances of scoring against any side in world football.

Follow the action below:

But it may well be going the other way that they will be concerned about tonight.

City have been in sensational form so far this season, scoring 29 goals in their own eight league matches and boast an embarrassment of attacking riches - even without the injured Sergio Aguero.

Buckle your seatbelt, this could be one hell of a 90 minutes.

Here’s everything you need to know about the game:

What time does it start?

The match kicks of at 7.45pm at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday 17 October.

Where can I watch it?

BT Sport 3 and BT Sport 4K UHD will be broadcasting the game.

It’s a big game for…

Jesus scored twice against Stoke in Aguero's absence (Getty)

Gabriel Jesus. Fresh from being described as the most talented youngster in world football since Lionel Messi (by Danny Murphy...), the Brazilian is in line to start his first Champions League game as the sole centre-forward for City. In his two previous appearances he has had the experience and quality of Sergio Aguero to rely upon. Can he do it on his own?

Player to watch…

Dries Mertens. The Dutchman started life at Napoli as a winger, but a striker crisis 12 months ago prompted Sarri to transform him into a centre-forward. Thirty-eight goals later and it’s starting to look like something of a stroke of genius. John Stones and Nicolas Otamendi had better be on their toes.
