CSKA Moscow will be flying to The Etihad to face Manchester City, While Viktoria Plzen will be hosting defending UEFA Champions League holders Bayern Munich on Matchday 4.

Manchester City vs. CSKA Moscow

While a win by City against CSKA will not ultimately ensure their advancement to the next round, it will provide them the necessary cushion in case of blunders that they may encounter moving forward.

The Blues are coming off a 7-0 emphatic win against Norwich on Saturday in the English Premier League, lifting their spirits after a dismal performance against Chelsea.

Manuel Pellegrini emphasised that importance of surviving the group stages, especially, for a big club like City.

"For Manchester City, [getting through the group stage] would be a great achievement. We all know what happened in the last two years, so for a club that is always trying to grow every day, progression in Europe is very important," Pellegrini told uefa.com.

Costel Pantilimon will start in lieu of first-choice goalkeeper Joe Hart, who has been suffering from confidence issues in the past few weeks, as Pellegrini stated that Hart should be given enough time to rest and reflect.

In contrast, CSKA's form has been inconsistent as of late, winning only three of their recent six games.

However, spirits are still high at the Russian camp as they were able to secure back-to-back wins in the Russian Premier League ahead of the clash in Manchester.

CSKA boss Leonid Slutski is aware of City's strength, but believes that his squad will come out with guns blazing Tuesday and specifically pointed out that his team shall exploit the goalkeeping problems of the opposition.

"We know that Manchester City are firm favourites to win tomorrow, but we'll do our best to prove people wrong," said Slutski.

"We can't worry about how well Manchester City played at the weekend, they are a very strong team."

Probable Starters:

Manchester City (4-4-2): Pantilimon; Zabaleta, Nastasic, Demichelis, Kolarov; Navas, Toure, Fernandinho, Silva; Aguero, Dzeko

CSKA Moscow (4-2-3-1): Akinfeev; Nababkin, Berezoutski, Ignashevitch, Schennikov; Wernbloom, Milanov; Tosic, Honda, Musa; Doumbia

Viktoria Plzen vs. Bayern Munich

Plzen manager Pavel Vrba is going to make changes to his squad, tactically to have, at least, a fighting chance against Bayern, after being thrashed 5-0 in Munich on matchday 3.

"We would like to change virtually everything about our performance in Munich, but the question is whether or not we have the quality to do it. Just remember the score Bayern recorded last season against Barcelona," said Vrba.

"We are going to try to do as much as possible to make it harder for them. We might change our tactical lineup, and make it a bit more of an attacking formation as we are going to play at home and be more active on the ball, but of course the question is whether it will be enough."

On the other hand, Bayern boss Josep Guardiola remains humble despite winning all three games in their group and showed respect towards Plzen.

"Every game in the Champions League is dangerous because every opponent you come up against in this competition has experience," said Guardiola.

"Plzeň won 6-1 in the league at the weekend and are on good form, but I can see a chance for us to qualify for the knockout stage."

"There is always something to improve on, even in the games that we win, and we still want to get better. We have been at the very top and won everything, but that means we have to work even harder to maintain our position."

Viktoria Plzen (4-2-3-1): Kozacik; Rajtoral, Cisovsky, Prochazka, Limbersky; Horvath, Horava; Petrzela, Kolar, Kovarik; Bakos

Bayern Munich (4-1-4-1): Neuer; Lahm, Boateng, Dante, Alaba; Martinez; Muller, Schweinsteiger, Kroos, Ribery; Mandzukic
