Manchester City host FC Copenhagen in their UEFA Champions League Round of 16 second leg on March 7.

A 3-1 first-leg win in Denmark puts them in a strong position to ease into the quarterfinals on the back of a superb Premier League weekend derby victory against Manchester United.

The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch it worldwide, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.
