Tricky trip for Mancini´s City

Manchester City face a difficult trip to Ukraine as they take on Dynamo Kiev in the round of 16 of the Europa League.

Roberto Mancini’s side have been in good form of late and will be hoping to extend their six-match unbeaten run in the first leg against Dynamo.

Midfielder James Milner has not travelled with the English Premier League club because of injury, while defender Kolo Toure is remains suspended following a failed drugs test for reportedly taking diet pills.

Experienced European campaigners Dynamo – captained by former Chelsea striker Andriy Shevchenko – should provide a stern test for Mancini’s men.

Lying second in the Ukrainian Premier League standings, Dynamo topped Group E and gave further indication of their potential by beating Turkish club Besiktas 8-1 on aggregate in the round of 32 stage.
