CSKA MOSCOW vs. MANCHESTER CITY Live Stream FREE Online: 2014 UEFA Champions League, Live Coverage From Moscow, Projected Lineups and TACTICAL PREVIEW

Two clubs chasing UEFA Champions League glory will do battle today in a match between CSKA Moscow and Manchester City. The group-stage match scheduled for 12 p.m. ET will be held at the Arena Khimki in Moscow and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on ESPN Deportes.

CSKA Moscow manager Leonid Slutski had this to offer ahead of today's European encounter (via UEFA): "Manchester City have been and remain favorites, not only for our group, but also the Champions League. And the fact that they have not won in the group does not mean anything. They played in Munich and against a strong Roma side. In their national championship, they are also playing well, beating Tottenham 4-1. They are favorites, but we will make every effort to achieve a positive result."

"We are preparing for a match against a top club," he added. "When we have the ball, we will attack. When they have it, we will defend. The most important pairing in the center for Manchester City is Yaya Touré and Fernandinho. At the moment, [Frank] Lampard is not such an important player for Manchester City, as he was at Chelsea for a long time."

Tactical Preview

Player to Watch: Manchester City's Sergio Aguero has been sensational for the club this season. The 26-year-old has nine goals in eight league appearances and is averaging 2.1 take-ons per match.
