Kevin De Bruyne returns to the Etihad for the first time since his Manchester City exit on Thursday evening as Napoli visit in the Champions League.

The Belgian playmaker won 14 trophies in a sparkling 10-year career at the Premier League club before leaving as a free agent in the summer and signing for the Serie A winners.

De Bruyne returns to face his former club in the opening week of the 2025/26 Champions League season as both sides look to make a winning start to the European campaign.

It has been a rocky season for Man City so far but Pep Guardiola will hope that Sunday's 3-0 Manchester derby win can help them find some consistency.

The visitors, meanwhile, have made a flawless start to their Serie A title defence – winning the three on the bounce to resume their place at the top of the table.
