FC Basel 1893
Man City
- FC Basel played a 3-4-3 formation throughout the group stage of the Champions League but the loss of their best defender Manuel Akanji, who joined Borussia Dortmund in January, may force them into a back four.
- Renato Steffen also moved to Germany during the winter break, but Valentin Stocker returned to the club in January and should play on the right instead.
- Luca Zuffi is a doubt for the home side and may not recover in time for the first leg, while Germano Vailati is sidelined.
- Leroy Sané and Fabian Delph were pictured in training ahead of Tuesday's match against Basel but it remains to be seen whether this match will come too soon for the duo.
- David Silva failed to overcome injury in time to face Leicester on Saturday and remains a doubt for the away side here, although is expected to feature.
- John Stones and Vincent Kompany will push for starts at centre-back after being named on the bench at the weekend, while Phil Foden is another option after making his comeback against the Foxes.
- Danilo and Oleksandr Zinchenko battle for a starting role at left-back in Switzerland with Benjamin Mendy and Fabian Delph still sidelined.
Basel is about to become a second team in the history of football to go through to the next stage in Champions League after losing first leg game 4-0 /s
@fervour21 I had toast for breakfast this morning, was quite good...
aguero hat trick calling it right now.
@RemyLebeu Doubt it. He'll probably get subbed out. I dont see Pep risking his only world class striker when the game/tie are wrapped up
@khonda oh yeah forgot about that and he did take him off so you were correct
well done basil for selling your best defender akanji now you are paying the price with a demolition job by man city
1-3
2-2
Basel score 1-2 goal
basel 0-2 Man City
Over25 is my pick.
@KNG Over 25 is quite daring but with ManCity you never know, they might score 24 ...
I think City to lose here 7:0! :))) Go on Basil!
Man city to beat Basel 4-1. Basel will attack at home and this will be good for Man City who should find plenty of space for their passing.
Card under 4.5
Another training match for Man City ...0:4
1-3 or 1-4
0-4 CITY
Manchester City win...exciting team to watch... playing away they will be cautious not to concede too many goals,...with Aguero on fire and De Bruyne accurate passing i see them one foot in the quarter finals before the return fixture.
Manchester City win... exciting team to watch, they are on a good run and they will want to put one foot in the quarter finals before the return fixture...yes they will be very cautious not to make mistakes, with Aguero on fire and De Bruyne accurate passing away win for me.
UN3.5 goals
city will win 2-1 away but come return leg see how FC basel gets dismantled
cmon city

A great opportunity for the citizen to move to quarter final
