Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Manchester City's trip to Turin to face Juventus in their final Group A match of the Europa League - early kick off at 6pm UK time.

Johnson on the left feeds Nimely but his shot is blocked. Johnson gets hold of it again, beating Grygera, and he puts it in but Manninger claims.

Milner's ball seems to hit Grygera on the arm in the box but the ref waves play on!

Vieira finds Jo who tries to thread Nimely in but he is offside.

Johnson gets an early touch but is forced to go back to his defence. Milner on the ball now and Wright-Phillips is in down the right, he plays Richards in and a super low ball FOR JO SURELY but bodies fly in on the line and the ball spins way! Johnson now but he's closed down and Juve clear! How did that not go in?

The first half is underway in Turin. A chance for the second-string to make a case.

The teams are coming out, both under-strength but City flexing their impressive squad.

CITY TEAM NEWS: TEN changes from the weekend. Only Jerome Boateng remains from the 3-1 win at West Ham. Shay Given, who will surely leave in January, gets a rare start in goal while Dedryck Boyata, Micah Richards and Wayne Bridge step into the defence in place of Kolo Toure, Vincent Kompany and Pablo Zabaleta. Patrick Vieira, Adam Johnson, James Milner and Shaun Wright-Phillips make the midfield while Jo and Alex Nimley up front.

JUVE TEAM NEWS: Alex Manninger comes in for second-choice keeper Marco Storari with Gigi Buffon still injured, while on-loan Arsenal wing-back Armand Traore starts in place of Fabio Grosso and Nicola Legrottaglie replaces Leo Bonucci at centre-half. Momo Sissoko replaces Alberto Aquilani in midfield while Fabio Quagliarella is rested for youth team striker Nicolo Giannetti.

Referee: Istvan Vad (Hungary)

TEAMS - Juventus: Manninger, Grygera, Legrottaglie, Chiellini, Traore, Krasic, Sissoko, Felipe Melo, Pepe, Giannetti, Del Piero; Subs: Storari, Iaquinta, Bonucci, Buchel, Giandonato, Boniperti, Camilleri /// Manchester City: Given, Boateng, Richards, Boyata, Bridge, Wright-Phillips, Milner, Vieira, Adam Johnson, Jo, Nimely; Subs: Taylor, Zabaleta, Kay, Mee, Ibrahim, Chantler, Elabdellaoui

City defender Micah Richards: "We want to go there to win. This game is for players who've not really played that often."

City boss Roberto Mancini: "It is important to win this game because we want to top the group. We prefer not to meet the teams who come from the Champions League. It is also important for the players because we have a lot of matches coming up and we will need everyone."

Fellow striker Mario Balotelli also does not travel, as he has history with Juve fans, some of whom take pleasure in racially abusing Italy's brightest football prospect.

In case you've been ignoring football news for the past week, City striker Carlos Tevez did not travel after he demanded a transfer following a row with the club's board - or so he says.

This match is a dead rubber but, amazingly given their respective European histories - it's City who top the group and Juve who crash out. The Bianconeri have drawn all five of their matches meaning they finish third despite being unbeaten.
