Zambian young defender and midfielder Miguel Chaiwa is part of the Young Boys team set to play against the defending UEFA Champions League champions, Manchester City, this evening in England. The 19-year-old Chaiwa became the youngest Zambian ever to play in the Champions League when he featured in Young Boys' 2-2 draw against Red Star Belgrade in the group stage earlier this season. On Monday evening, Chaiwa attended his team's last training session at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester ahead of the two teams' encounter. Young Boys lost 3-1 at home when they hosted Manchester City in the third round of the group stage and currently sit at the bottom of the table with one point. Manchester City, with their formidable form, reign supreme atop the table with nine points, followed by RB Leipzig with six points and Red Star Belgrade with one point. A positive result for Young Boys in England would be a great achievement against the defending champions, who come into the game on the back of a 6-1 thrashing of Bournemouth in the English Premier League over the weekend. Young Boys are also coming from a huge 4-1 win over Winterthur in the Swiss league, despite playing much of the game with a man down. The match between Manchester City and Young Boys will kick off at 22:00 Zambian time.
