Sporting CP take on Manchester City in the Champions League tonight with manager Ruben Amorim getting a taste of what it will be like to go up against Pep Guardiola before joining Manchester United later this month.
Amorim was confirmed as United’s new boss last week but will not make the move to Old Trafford until November 11 meaning he has two more games in charge of Sporting. The Portuguese side have won two and drawn one of their three Champions League matches so far putting them eighth in the table level on points with City.
Guardiola’s men are third due to their superior goal difference but will be hoping to remain inside the automatic qualifying spots by collecting three points tonight. The Premier League champions suffered a shock defeat to Bournemouth at the weekend and will want to bounce back despite facing Sporting away from home.
