The UEFA Champions League features arguably the biggest match of the season so far as Inter Milan lock horns with Pep Guardiola's Manchester City side in a historic encounter at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul on Saturday.
Manchester City vs Inter Milan Preview
Inter Milan finished in third place in the Serie A standings and have been fairly impressive so far this season. The Nerazzurri edged Torino to a 1-0 victory in their previous game and will need to work hard to achieve a similar result this weekend.
Manchester City have already won two trophies this season and have been in excellent form since the turn of the year. The Cityzens won the FA Cup against Manchester United last week and could potentially win the treble in this fixture.
