Fresh from their derby win over arch-rivals Manchester United at the weekend, Man City turn their attention to their defence of the Champions League when they entertain FC Copenhagen at the Etihad Stadium in the last sixteen second leg tomorrow evening.
Unbeaten run
Manchester City fought their way from behind to overcome rivals Manchester United in the fiercely-contested derby match at the weekend, thus extending their unbeaten run to nineteen games and boosting their chances of claiming the Premier League title for the sixth time in seven seasons. With just eleven league games left to play, Pep Guardiola’s men sit in second position in the league table with just a single point separating them from leaders Liverpool, against whom they do battle at Anfield on Sunday.
Strong position
City also have an FA Cup quarter-final clash with Newcastle United to look forward to, however Guardiola’s side must first turn their attention to the Champions League where they are in an extremely strong position to make it into the quarter-finals of the competition. Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva and Phil Foden scored City’s three goals in the 3-1 victory over Copenhagen in the Danish capital last month and a win tonight would make the Citizens only the third ever side in the history of the competition to manage at least ten consecutive victories.
Mountain to climb
This is the first time since 2010/11 and the second time in their history that Copenhagen have competed in the knockout stages of the Champions League and Jacob Neestrup’s men have a massive mountain to climb in this second leg clash. They head to the Etihad Stadium in the knowledge that they have absolutely nothing to lose here and while they have never before beaten English opposition away from home in a European tournament, they will be taking the game to the home side tonight in the hope of getting something for their troubles.
A step above
Copenhagen will play without fear in Manchester tomorrow evening but in reality, City are a step above their opponents across all departments and will ultimately have far too much for the visitors. On that basis, we’ll be siding with Man City to claim the spoils here and keep a clean sheet into the bargain.
