When Manchester City were beaten 2-1 at home by Olympique Lyon in their first Champions League game this season, it felt as if their season was about to implode in itself.

However, the Cityzens have responded well to that loss as they have won 9 of their 10 games since that defeat, with their only failure to win coming against Liverpool at Anfield.

Pep Guardiola’s men thrashed Southampton 6-1 at the weekend to continue their dominance of the English game.

They have now netted 29 times in their last 10 competitive games which includes wins against Hoffenheim and Shakhtar Donetsk.

The Ukrainian visitors won’t have much confidence of getting a result from this game as they have not won any European game on English soil before.

Shakhtar have visited England 7 times and have been beaten on 6 occasions.

Shakhtar have lost 7 of their last 9 away games in the Champions League and as a matter of fact, they have just 3 wins from all of their away games in the last 5 seasons, so this game could be much more about pride for them.

Manchester City beat Shakhtar Donetsk 3-0 in their last Champions League game which was their second win in 3 games against the Ukrainians.

Bookmakers have priced Manchester City up as though they cannot lose while goal markets suggest this game could be high-scoring as over 3.5 goals is currently trading odds-on.
