Manchester City vs FC Steaua Bucuresti. UEFA Champions League Qualifying Play-Offs Round.

Yaya Toure and Joe Hart could feature for Manchester City in the club's Champions League play-off second leg against Steaua Bucharest on Wednesday.
Hart has not played in a competitive game for City this season, with Willy Caballero so far getting the nod from newly-installed boss Pep Guardiola.
And the England goalkeeper's future at the club is in doubt with City closing in on a deal to sign Claudio Bravo from Barcelona.
City already have one foot in the Champions League group stages after a 5-0 victory at the National Arena in last week's first leg.
Sergio Aguero scored a hat-trick after missing two penalties with David Silva and Nolito grabbing the other goals for the Premier League side.
Team news
Guardiola also revealed Toure has a chance of making his first appearance of the season. Leroy Sane could make his City debut following his move from Schalke earlier this month.
Vincent Kompany and Ilkay Gundogan both trained but are not fit enough to play, while Bacary Sagna has been ruled out through injury.
Opta stats
City's 5-0 win in the first leg qualifier equalled their biggest European win (also 5-0 v Lierse in 1969/70 Cup Winners' Cup and 5-0 v The New Saints in 2003/04 UEFA Cup qualifying).
City's 5-0 advantage is the biggest first-leg lead recorded since the introduction of the Champions League play-off round in 2009/10.
The Citizens have won all three of their previous games against Romanian opposition, scoring eight and conceding none.
Steaua have lost their last four games against English sides, failing to score in the last three.
Steaua have played in England on nine previous occasions in European competition, losing seven and drawing twice. Their highest profile trip on English soil was in the UEFA Cup semi-final v Middlesbrough in April 2006, losing 4-2 on the night.
Aguero scored a hat-trick in the first leg, but also missed two penalties. The last player to miss two spot-kicks in a Champions League qualifier was Ivica Vrdoljak for Legia Warsaw v Celtic in July 2014.
