#4 Manchester City vs AS Monaco
Trending
This game has all the ingredients of a classic as Manchester City bid to make the quarter-finals for just the second time in their history. They will be up against a team that has lost just once against English opposition in knockout matches.
Monaco qualified as winners of Group E whereas Manchester City finished second, behind FC Barcelona in Group C.
Players to watch out for
- While Gabriel Jesus has been the preferred choice for Pep Guardiola in the recent Premier League games, Sergio Aguero is expected to start the European games and must perform well to save his Manchester City career.
- Despite making just 10 starts in the Champions League, Falcao has scored six goals and has provided one assist.
Key stats
- Manchester City have never lost to French opposition in European competitions (W1 D2), with all three previous meetings coming against PSG.
- Monaco's away record against Premier League sides reads – W5, D2, L2.
Prediction
Monaco are having a brilliant campaign but masterminding a two-legged win over Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City might be a bit too much for the French side.
First leg – Manchester City 2-1 AS Monaco
Second leg – AS Monaco 1-2 Manchester City
