Man City vs Real Madrid: Preview

Pep Guardiola went bold and opted to give his players the day off before their huge clash with Real Madrid earlier this week.

The Cityzens drew 1-1 with West Ham on Saturday night, which leaves them with a huge hill to climb if they are to chase down Arsenal and deny them the Premier League title.

Erling Haaland has now gone seven games without a goal and that is simply unheard of for a player of his talents. He is still expected to start in this one.

Josko Gvardiol remains sidelined with a tibial fracture, while Rico Lewis is unavailable due to an ankle injury.

Real Madrid can put it in cruise control, having done their damage in the first leg, thanks to a first career hat-trick from Valvedre.

Real fans haven't had a lot to cheer about this season, but winning yet another European Cup would go a long way to helping those woes.

Still four points behind Barcelona in the La Liga title race, they did hammer Elche 4-1 at the weekend in perfect preparation for this one, thanks to strikes from Antonio Rudiger, Valverde, Dean Huijsen and Arda Guler.

Real Madrid remain without Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham - both expected to miss out after sustaining knee and hamstring injuries, respectively, having also been unavailable for the first leg.

FourFourTwo's prediction

Man City 2-2 Real Madrid

FourFourTwo says City will charge into a two-goal lead, before Real end the tie with a brace of their own.
