CL Match Preview : Manchester City vs Monaco

Manchester City will look to bounce back from their 0-0 draw with Huddersfield in the FA Cup last time out. On home turf, however, City have impressed and are unbeaten in their last six, winning four.

Free scoring Monaco were held to a 1-1 draw with Bastia on Friday evening, yet maintained their three-point lead at the summit of Ligue 1 as PSG dropped points. Away from home, they are unbeaten in seven, winning five, including a 1-1 draw with domestic rivals PSG.

This promises to be one of the ties of the round, with a high scoring affair a possibility.
