FC Schalke 04 will look to put an early end to their Group A qualification campaign and avenge an old defeat as they meet Manchester City FC in their third UEFA Cup group-stage fixture. • Schalke have four points after beating Paris Saint-Germain FC 3-1 in their opening fixture before drawing 1-1 at Real Racing Club. City kicked off on Matchday 2 with a 3-2 win at home against FC Twente, and are second in the section with three points. • A win for Schalke will guarantee them a place in the last 32. No side has ever been eliminated from the UEFA Cup group stage with seven points, though it is theoretically possible for four sides to finish level with seven points, with one team being eliminated on goal difference. • A win for City will most likely send them through too. Only once in the history of the UEFA Cup group stage has a total of six points not been enough to qualify, with a Rangers FC side featuring Schalke striker Peter Løvenkrands missing out in the 2004/05 edition. • City and Schalke have met before, the English side beating their German opponents 5-2 on aggregate in the semi-final of the 1969/70 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup. 's side then went on to beat 's Górnik Zabrze in the final to win what remains the club's only major European trophy. • Schalke won the first leg 1-0 in Gelsenkirchen thanks to a 76th-minute strike, meaning they have won their sole home game against City. • However, they were overwhelmed at , as the English side won 5-1 with (8), Neil Young (22, 28), (50) and (81) all scoring against Rudi Gutendorf's side, for whome Libuda's late goal was scant consolation. • The teams for the first leg in on 1 April 1970 were: Schalke: Norbert Nigbur, Waldemar Slomiany, Hans-Jürgen Becher (Alban Wüst, 70), Hermann Erlhoff, , Heinz van Haaren, Reinhard Libuda, Gerd Neuser, Manfred Pohlschmidt, Hans-Jürgen Wittkamp (Klaus Scheer, 46), Hans Pirkner. City: , , Glyn Pardoe, Mike Doyle, Derek Jeffries, , Tommy Booth, Colin Bell, Francis Lee, Neil Young, .

• The only other German side City have faced in European competition is VfL Borussia Mönchengladbach, to whom they lost to 4-2 on aggregate in the 1978/79 UEFA Cup quarter finals having followed a 1-1 home draw with a 3-1 defeat in German against the eventual winners. Their complete record in games against sides reads W1 D1 L2, with both of those defeats coming in Germany. • Schalke have played eight UEFA club competition games against English teams and met Chelsea FC in the group stage of last season's UEFA Champions League, losing 2-0 in London and drawing 0-0 at home. Their record in all of those matches reads W3 D2 L3. They have won three and drawn one of their home games against English opponents. • Schalke coach has never encountered English opponents. • City manager , meanwhile has yet to win against German opposition as a coach, with his Blackburn Rovers FC side drawing one 2006/07 UEFA Cup game against and losing the other. He played three matches against German sides with FC Barcelona and Chelsea FC, winning all of them. • Hughes also played in Germany, spending the 1987/88 season on loan at FC Bayern München from FC Barcelona and scoring six goals in 18 league games for the Munich club, who finished third in the table. • Three City players have experience of German football. played at Hamburger SV from 2006 to 2008, Berti Glauber joined from 1.

Competition information

The UEFA Cup evolved from the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, and was first contested as the UEFA Cup in 1971/72. Next season the UEFA Cup will be reborn as the UEFA Europa League. The new name heralds major changes to the competition, which will have a new 48-team group stage with centralised marketing of broadcast rights, a presenting sponsor and an official matchball in addition to centralised sponsorship from the knockout stage and a new logo and visual identity. • Format: The UEFA Cup group stage draw in Nyon on 7 October saw the 40 teams divided into eight groups of five. Clubs from the same association could not be drawn into the same group. Each club plays home and away alternately in its group. Three points are awarded for a win, one point for a draw and no points for a defeat. If two or more teams are equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following criteria are applied to determine the rankings. a) superior goal difference from all group matches played; b) higher number of goals scored; c) higher number of goals scored away; d) higher number of wins; e) higher number of away wins; f) higher coefficient points accumulated by the club in question, as well as its association, over the previous five seasons. The eight group-winners, the eight runners-up, and the eight third-ranked teams from the group stage qualify for the Round of 32, along with the eight sides that finish third in the eight UEFA Champions League groups, with ties to be played over two legs on 18/19 and 26 February 2009. The clubs that finish this stage in fourth and fifth position are eliminated from UEFA club competition for the season. This year's UEFA Cup final is in Istanbul on 20 May 2009. • Disciplinary information: As a rule, a player who is sent off is suspended for the next match in a UEFA club competition. The Control and Disciplinary Body is entitled to augment this punishment. In the case of repeated cautions, a player is suspended for one match after three cautions in three different matches, as well as following any subsequent odd-numbered caution (fifth, seventh, ninth, etc). Single yellow cards and pending suspensions are always carried forward either to the next stage of the competition or to another club competition in the current season. • Locally-trained players rule: In February 2005, UEFA announced the 'A' list that teams submit for UEFA club competitions will continue to be limited to 25 players, and from season 2007/08, at least six places will be reserved for players trained by the club's own football academy of which half can be players trained by other clubs from within the same association of the said club. The 'B' list will also continue to exist - involving an unlimited number of Under-21 players who have been at the club for any uninterrupted period of two years since their 15th birthday. In 2006/07, the number of locally-trained players required began at four but the current six will rise to eight in 2008/09, with up to half of each figure allowed to be association trained. A club-trained player is defined as a player who has been registered for a minimum of three seasons with the club between the age of 15 and 21, whereas an association-trained player is one who has been registered for at least three seasons by the club or by other clubs affiliated to the same association between the age of 15 and 21. • Player registration: UEFA regulations state that for all UEFA Cup matches from the start of the Round of 32, a club may register a maximum of three new eligible players within their squad of 25 for the remaining matches in the current competition. One player from the above quota of three who has played UEFA club competition matches for another competing club in the current season may exceptionally be registered, provided that the player has not been fielded by another club in the UEFA Cup this season or by a club that has transferred from the UEFA Champions League to the UEFA Cup following the group stage. • Disclaimer: Although UEFA has taken all reasonable care that the information contained within this document is accurate at the time of publication, no representation or guarantee (including liability towards third parties), expressed or implied, is made as to its accuracy, reliability or completeness.
