Man City v AEK Athens (Tue, 20:00 BST)

Of course, Enzo Maresca has taken over at Manchester City during an unprecedented time of upheaval at the club off the pitch.

Saturday’s win at home to Ipswich was another game that was played where no-one knows what sanctions City will face after being found guilty of breaking the Premier League financial rules.

And while there is doubt over what the final outcome will be, it’s hard to know exactly what each individual result means.

But do they have any grounds to win their appeal?

Our Football Issues correspondent, Dale Johnson, has written about their chances.

They face “substantial hurdles” if they are to have any chance of winning their appeal, a leading lawyer has told BBC Sport.

The club have said they are “innocent of the accusations made by the Premier League” and they have “irrefutable evidence” the ruling “contains clear material errors, of law, principle and fact, and is unsafe”.

James Severn, Member of the London Solicitor Litigation Association (LSLA) and Partner at Penningtons Manches Cooper, told BBC Sport that they will “face an uphill struggle to demonstrate the finding was materially wrong.”
