When and where is the match being played?
The second leg of the European Cup quarter-final between Manchester City and Paris St-Germain will take place on Tuesday night, with kick off being at the traditional time of 7.45pm for a Champions League tie.
The game will be played at City's Etihad Stadium.
What television channel can I follow the action on?
The appropriately titled BT Sport Europe will broadcast all of the match, with the build-up from Gary Lineker and his mates starting at 7pm. If you don't have a subscription to BT Sport, though, you can get all the team news, follow every kick and get all the reaction right here. Just bookmark this page and come back at around 6.30pm on Tuesday evening for regular updates in our live blog.
Alternatively you could, you know, go to the match - on Monday afternoon the club still had around 1,500 tickets still available.
What is the team news?
Vincent Kompany, the City captain, has been ruled out of the tie. The Belgium defender, out for the past month with a calf problem, has been involved in training but Tuesday's game has come around too soon.

Playmaker David Silva (ankle) is fit to return after being rested at the weekend while defender Nicolas Otamendi should overcome a twisted ankle. Raheem Sterling (groin) remains on the sidelines and fellow forward Samir Nasri is ineligible.
Marco Verratti was included in Paris Saint-Germain's squad on Monday. Italian playmaker Verratti is a key component of Laurent Blanc's side but has been troubled by a groin problem and has not played since February 20.
After last Wednesday's first leg, which ended in a 2-2 draw at the Parc des Princes, Blanc said there was no chance Verratti or Javier Pastore would be fit for the return in England.
However, Blanc later suggested that he was hopeful Verratti could make a miracle recovery in time to feature.
Pastore, who has been troubled by a calf problem, was also included by Blanc, who kept his options open by naming 22 players in his squad for the trip.
PSG will be without David Luiz and Blaise Matuidi, who are both suspended after being booked in the first leg.
Probable line-ups
Manchester City (4-2-3-1): Hart; Sagna, Otamendi, Mangala, Clichy; Fernando, Fernandinho; De Bruyne, Toure, Silva; Aguero.
Paris St-Germain (4-3-3): Trapp; Aurier, Silva, Marquinhos, Maxwell; Rabiot, Motta, Verratti; Di Maria, Ibrahimovic, Cavani.
Referee: Carlos Velasco Carballo (Spain).
What are the managers saying?
"I think the most important aspect of this team is always to score. We are working here for three years and I always have the same answer.
"We are a team that is prepared to score goals. If we prepare to play 0-0 I think we lose. You see the same team you see the last two and a half seasons.
"We must play every game thinking that we are the best that we can win - to arrive to the semi-final to try and win this competition." Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini.
"It's true that we've reached the quarter-finals three times. I understand the immense expectation, but if we reach the semi-finals, there will be expectation for the final.
"And it won't stop until the day Paris Saint-Germain win the European Cup. That's a certainty, with or without me.
"As long as PSG haven't won the European Cup, there will be an expectation and everyone will be under pressure - last 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals, final.
"You have to win the final because the project of the club is to win the European Cup. But we also have to show progress and tomorrow we have a chance to confirm that progress." Paris St-German manager Laurent Blanc.
