København • København's 23-match unbeaten run in all competitions ended as they slipped to a 1-0 defeat at Leicester on 18 October. • FCK overcame Club Brugge KV 4-0 at home on matchday two – their fourth straight success, and clean sheet, in Copenhagen in a UEFA Champions League campaign which began in the second qualifying round in July. • The Danish champions are tied with FC Porto in second place in Group G with four points. They are aiming to repeat their 2010/11 UEFA Champions League performance when they reached the round of 16 for the only time. • FCK's most recent home encounter with Premier League opposition brought a 2-0 loss to Chelsea FC in the 2010/11 UEFA Champions League round of 16. • In Ståle Solbakken's first spell as coach they earned their only victory over Premier League opposition in nine attempts –1-0 at home against Manchester United FC in the 2006/07 group stage.
