Man City v Feyenoord Team News

The hosts have already qualified for the final 16, but they are unlikely to take their foot off the gas if this season is anything to go by. The Citizens have won 4 out of 4 games and scored 12 goals in the process, an average of 3 per game - impressively dispatching domestically unbeaten Napoli both home and away.

Feyenoord have not notched a single point in the group stage as of yet and of all 6 games, this is not the one you would back them to start. The Dutch outfit have managed to score only 3 goals, and have conceded on average 3 goals per game in this CL group.

Speedy winger, Raheem Sterling, has already scored twice at the Etihad in this CL campaign and has scored more than any other player at home this season.

The visitors only hope of European glory now is that they can somehow take a result here, rely on Napoli to fail in their final 2 games - allowing them to qualify for the Europa League with 3rd place. A slight opportunity may be handed to them if City boss Pep Guardiola chooses to heavily rotate to give some of their promising youngsters a chance.

Guardiola’s men have won by a scoreline of 5-0 in 3 of their last 9 home games (PL), making the Etihad stadium one of the most well protected fortresses in Europe at this stage of the season.

One of the key reasons for Guardiola’s success at City is that his team has the ability to score goals from anywhere, not relying on one specific striker for goals - a nightmare for first goalscorer punts. City have 4 players with at least 2 goals this CL season (Sterling, Stones - 3: G. Jesus, Aguero - 2).

Teams' Possible Starting Lineups:

Man City: Bravo - Delph, Otamendi, Mangala, Danilo - Toure - Sane, Gundogan, Bruyne, Silva - Aguero (4-1-4-1 formation)

Feyenoord: Jones - Haps, Juste, Tapia, Nieuwkoop - Vilhena, Toornstra, Amrabat - Boetius, Jorgensen, Berghuis (4-3-3 formation)
