Manchester City will welcome Sevilla at the Etihad Stadium this Wednesday night as both sides try to get the better of each other in this UEFA Champions League clash. Man City managed to grind out a narrow 1-0 victory over Leicester City last weekend. In contrast, the Andalusian outfit suffered a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Rayo Vallecano recently which has hampered their momentum ahead of this game.

Phil Foden will have to carry most of the goal-scoring workload for Man City in the final third in the absence of Erling Haaland. The defensive performance of Ruben Dias and Nathan Ake could go a long way in determining the fate of this game.
