51'
The ball is lifted in to the box, and FATY RISES TO HEAD IT! He can't get enough on the ball though, and Kolarov clears! Glorious chance for the hosts to go 1-0 up, and doesn't Faty know it...
50'
Kolarov slips on the left wing, but does well to block Bobadilla's cross and concede the corner
50'
City have scored in every single European match they've contested this season - can Aris bring an end to that run tonight?
49'
Toja exchanges a couple of passes with Sakata on the edge of the area, but Barry is back to apply pressure on the Japanese striker and the ball goes out for a goal kick
48'
Aris playing very deep already, and clearly out to frustrate City who are back on the ball again
47'

Welcome back for the second half! No changes to make you aware of at half time, but it'll be interesting to see how both side emerge from the dressing rooms after that first half

HALF TIME! That's it for the first half at the Kleanthis Vikelidis! It's been a decent half for Manchester City, but they've had a few dodgy moments - largely of their own making! Both sides will be more or less content at the half-way stage, but Roberto Mancini won't be too happy leaving Greece without a potentially crucial away goal. Join us in a few minutes for the second half!
45+1'
He plays the ball forwards to Bobadilla, who fouls Boateng as the German goes in for a challenge.
45'
We'll have one minute of added time in Greece, and Neto wins the ball just inside City's half
44'
Tevez plays a lovely low ball through the Aris defence, but it's just a yard too far ahead of Dzeko. Sifakis gathers
43'
Aris move the ball up to Bobadilla, but the Argentine is penalised for a handball after Yaya Toure flicked the ball up and onto his forearm
42'
Barry drives forwards for City, and tries to square the ball to Dzeko mis-times the pass. Silva then leans into Toja from behind, and concedes another soft free kick
41'
Bobadilla gets away from Boateng on the right wing, but Kolorov times his challenge to perfection to nick the ball away again

Neto steps up to take it right-footed... and the ball is curled just wide of the left-hand post! Cracking effort.

It's lifted into the box, and Hart catches a tame header. He goes to kick the ball clear, and catches Gareth Barry in the back! He keeps hold of the ball, and linesman flags to say Hart handled outside the area! Very marginal decision, but Aris have a freekick right on the edge of the area!
38'
Toja keeps the ball in play on the right, and wins another corner with a deflected cross off Kolarov
38'
Neto goes across to take... but it's too high and long for Lazaridis and the yellow shirts
37'
City just need to up the tempo a bit at the moment. Aris look organised at the back, and are frustrating the Premier League side. Aris win their first corner, on the left
36'
City lift the ball back into the box, and Yaya Toure sends Lazaridis flying! Aris free kick, and a chance to get some much-needed quality time on the ball
35'
Swung into the box... and headed clear by Sakata
