Preview, watch live, prediction for Man City v LiverpoolPep Guardiola's City are reeling from their midweek defeat at Real Madrid which saw them knocked out of the UEFA Champions League. They have injury doubts over big players but have picked up plenty of wins in the Premier League in recent weeks to suggest they will finish in the top four but are surely too far behind to mount a late surge for the title.

Manchester City take on Real Madrid tonight at the Bernabeu in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League knockout play-off tie. Pep Guardiola’s side trail the current European champions 3-2 on aggregate after a late collapse in the first leg at the Etihad last week.

Erling Haaland missed Manchester City’s 3-1 defeat at Real Madrid on Wednesday, as Pep Guardiola's side missed their star striker badly. Haaland, 24, suffered a knee injury towards the end of City's 4-0 win against Newcastle last weekend.
