City crashed to a 4-2 defeat at home to Paris Saint-Germain last time out in the UCL, and could be without star man Erling Haaland for today’s game. The Norwegian striker picked up a knock late on in their 3-2 win in the Premier League over Ipswich at the weekend. With Antoine Semenyo also sidelined with a knee injury, Maresca may be forced to play either Phil Foden or Rayan Cherki in an unconventional false nine role.

Greek Super League champs AEK Athens meanwhile got off to a winning start in this season’s Champions League with a narrow 1-0 win at home to Austria’s LASK, but followed that result with an abject 3-1 defeat against Shakhtar Donetsk last week. The omens aren’t great for Marko Nikolić’s team, who are bouncing back from that result today, with AEK having lost seven of their last eight games against English opposition.

Man City takes on AEK Athens on Tuesday, Oct. 20, at the Etihad Stadium, with kickoff at 8 p.m. BST local time in the UK. That makes it a 3 p.m. ET or 12 p.m. PT start in the US and Canada. For viewers in Australia, it’s a 6 a.m. AEDT start on Wednesday.

If you’re traveling abroad and want to keep up with all the action while away from home, a VPN can help enhance your privacy and security when streaming.

Virtual private networks encrypt your traffic and prevent your internet service provider from throttling your speeds, and can also be helpful when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks while traveling, adding an extra layer of protection for your devices and logins. VPNs are legal in many countries, including the US and Canada, and can be used for legitimate purposes such as improving online privacy and security.

However, some streaming services may have policies that restrict VPN use for accessing region-specific content. If you’re considering a VPN for streaming, check the platform’s terms of service to ensure compliance.

If you choose to use a VPN, follow the provider’s installation instructions to ensure you’re connected securely and in compliance with applicable laws and service agreements. Some streaming platforms may block access when a VPN is detected, so verifying if your streaming subscription allows VPN usage is crucial.

ExpressVPN is our current best VPN pick for people who want a reliable, safe VPN that works on a variety of devices. It’s normally $15 a month for the basic plan, but if you sign up for an annual subscription, you can save money.

Note that ExpressVPN offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.
