Man City v FC Copenhagen (2-2)
Uefa Cup, Round of 32 Second LegVenue: Eastlands Date: Thursday, 26 February Kick-off: 1945 GMT








Manchester City midfielder Vincent Kompany has a toe injury and is a doubt for Thursday's Uefa Cup second leg.
Manager Mark Hughes is already without fellow midfielder Nigel de Jong, who was not registered for the competition.
Winger Shaun Wright Phillips is available, as his suspension is for domestic games only, providing he can overcome an ankle injury.
Copenhagen striker Cesar Santin faces a late fitness test after he suffered a groin injury in the first leg.
Manchester City boss Hughes said qualifying for the last 16 of the Uefa Cup is a priority for his team.
"I think our squad is big enough and strong enough and we want to get the job done," he said.
"I would rather start the game strongly and hopefully put the game to bed quite early, then make changes.
"That is better than going the other way when you think you can keep people in reserve and hope you don't need them.
"Invariably at some point you do need them so I would rather choose this option when it comes to selecting my team."
Hughes said his side's good home form should be enough to see them overcome Copenhagen.
"It will interesting to see how they approach this game. At some point Copenhagen will have to be positive as they have to win the game," he said.
"But we feel it is all about what we are going to do. If we are positive as we always are at Eastlands there is no reason why can't go through."
