Good news for Manchester City as they kick off their Champions League campaign with the return of captain Vincent Kompany. Kompany, who's been missing for almost all of the season so far, should restore some stability to a defence that's been looking distinctly wobbly in his absence. If they can also secure an away win in Plzen, Manuel Pellegrini's side will be on the right path for reaching the knockout stage for the first time in their history.
