Manchester City make the trip to the Portuguese capital tonight looking to get back to winning ways after falling to back to back defeats last week, losing to Tottenham in the Carabao Cup before Bournemouth delivered their first loss of the Premier League season.
Pep Guardiola’s side lost their place at the top of the table following their defeat on the Dorset coast, and now trail Liverpool by two points as they bid to win a record-extending fifth consecutive league title.
City had won five in a row prior to their Carabao Cup exit last week, and their loss on Saturday afternoon was their first in the Premier League this calendar year, and left them with back to back defeats for the first time since September 2023.
Looking for their second Champions League title following their treble triumph in 2023, Manchester City have started the new campaign well, picking up seven points from their three games which leaves them third in the standings.
Their European campaign kicked off with a goalless draw at home against Inter Milan in a repeat of that 2023 final, and have since recorded comfortable wins over Slovan Bratislava and Slavia Prague.

Sporting prepare for the visit of Manchester City having won 14 of their last 15 matches in all competitions this season, which includes having won all 10 of their Liga Portugal games, leaving them three points clear at the top of the table.
The Portugese champions are currently managed by Ruben Amorim, though tonight’s match will be his penultimate one in charge and his final game in front of Sporting’s home fans before he packs his bags to replace Erik ten Hag as manager of Manchester United.
Sporting, like their opponents tonight, have picked up seven points from their three Champions League matches; victories over Lille and Sturm Graz either side of a draw away at PSV.
The two teams have met before on four occasions, with two wins to City and one to Sporting, the most recent of which came in the Round of 16 of this competition back in 2022, when City won 5-0 in Lisbon before progressing with a 0-0 draw at the Etihad.
