Match background Manchester City • At home in last season's competition the English champions posted two wins (5-2 v PFC CSKA Moskva, 4-2 v FC Viktoria Plzeň) but also two defeats (1-3 v Bayern, 0-2 v FC Barcelona). • Aleksandar Kolarov's equaliser in the 1-1 draw with SSC Napoli in the 2011/12 group stage maintained City's unbeaten record at home to Serie A sides (W2, D2, L0). Morgan De Sanctis was in Napoli's goal that night. • City's most recent victory, home or away, against an Italian team was the 3-0 triumph against AC Milan in the 1978/79 UEFA Cup third round, which secured a 5-2 aggregate success. Brian Kidd, now assistant manager, scored in both legs. Roma • The Giallorossi opened their Group E campaign with a 5-1 home win against CSKA. • They have won only once in 14 previous visits to England – 1-0 at Liverpool FC in the 2000/01 UEFA Cup fourth round. Even then they lost the tie 2-1 on aggregate. • They have lost on all three previous visits to Manchester too – all at Old Trafford where Daniele De Rossi (who scored) and Francesco Totti played in the 7-1 UEFA Champions League quarter-final defeat by Manchester United FC in 2006/07. • Their most recent visit to England brought a 1-1 draw at Fulham FC in the 2009/10 UEFA Europa League group stage. De Rossi played. Player links • In his first season in Europe, Manuel Pellegrini led Villarreal CF to a 1-1 draw against Roma's neighbours SS Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico in the UEFA Cup group stage. The next season, Villarreal beat FC Internazionale Milano on away goals in the 2005/06 UEFA Champions League quarter-finals (1-2 away, 1-0 home). • Pellegrini later faced Milan twice in the group stage: with Real Madrid CF (2-3 h, 1-1 a; 2009/10) and with Málaga CF (1-0 h, 1-1 a; 2012/13). • On his last visit to north-west England, Rudi Garcia's LOSC Lille side lost 3-0 at Liverpool FC in the 2009/10 UEFA Europa League round of 16, surrendering a 1-0 first-leg lead. • Roma icon Totti has neither scored nor won in nine past visits to England in UEFA club competition – a sequence that began in November 1998. He prevailed with Italy in a 2-1 friendly success over England in March 2002. • Kolarov made 82 Serie A appearances and scored six goals for Lazio (2007–10). He played in four Rome derbies, winning two and losing two, and scored in a 4-2 home success over the Giallorossi in April 2009. • With ACF Fiorentina (2008–13), Stevan Jovetić made 116 Serie A appearances and scored 35 goals. In six Serie A games against Roma he scored twice – in home (3-0) and away (2-1) victories in 2011/12. • Ashley Cole struck the only goal in Arsenal FC's 1-0 victory at City on 25 September 2004. With Arsenal and Chelsea FC, he won on his first six trips to City's current stadium and then lost the last four. • Sergio Agüero and Pablo Zabaleta helped Argentina beat Miralem Pjanić's Bosnia and Herzegovina 2-1 in their opening 2014 FIFA World Cup game.
