Live Europa League Football
AS you may already know, I like to do a little research about some of the clubs our British sides come up against in Europe.
Hence I’ve discovered that FC Red Bull Salzburg, to whom Roberto Mancini’s Manchester City play host tonight, used to be known as SV Austria Salzburg before the Red Bull company bought the club in 2005.
Red Bull apparently then changed its name and even got rid of its traditional colours, a move which didn’t exactly meet with universal approval among the fans.
Anyway, enough of the history lesson: as far as this actual fixture is concerned, City would welcome a repeat, or better, of the 2-0 win they secured when the clubs met in September in Austria. Jim Rosenthal is our host, with the action getting underway at 8.05pm.
