Manchester City v Schalke 04 Team News

City are with a 3-2 advantage coming into the return leg of their Champions League last-16 tie against Schalke, who let their first-half lead of 2-1 slip minutes before time when Sane and Sterling goals first equalised and then earned City the victory on 90 minutes, after Nabil Bentaleb had converted two spot-kicks for the Gelsenkirchen club.

Pep Guardiola's team followed it up with winning the EFL Cup against Chelsea on penalties and with three Premier League victories to make it eight wins out of nine games in all competitions. However, with shock exits of Real Madrid and PSG you can't be fully confident it won't happen here.

A home goal will mean Schalke need three goals at least to advance - a feat that has solely been managed by Crystal Palace at Etihad Stadium all season; Moreover, there have only been two home matches out of City's 23 where they have conceded two or more.

The home defeat to City has clearly rocked Schalke even more as they have since suffered three beatings with a combined score of 11-2, conceding three or more goals in each of them. Die Knappen are on a six-game winless streak with just one draw (D1 L5). They will feel as if they have a mountain to climb in Manchester to stand the smallest chance of a place in the next round.

Teams' Potential Starting Line-ups:

Manchester City (4-3-3): Ederson; Zinchenko, Laporte, Kompany, Walker; Silva, Gundogan, Silva; Sterling, Jesus, Sane.

Schalke 04 (3-4-2-1): Fahrmann; Nastasic, Sane, Stambouli; Mendyl, Bentaleb, Serdar, McKennie; Embolo, Skrzybski; Burgstaller.

Injured or Suspended Players:

Manchester City: Nicolas Otamendi, Fernandinho, Claudio Bravo, Vincent Kompany, John Stones, Kevin De Bruyne, Sergio Aguero.
