Juventus vs Manchester City – LIVE!
Man City head to Juventus for a heavyweight Champions League fixture. Both teams are amongst the biggest names in the competition but are marooned towards the bottom of the play-off spots right now, putting a reasonable amount of jeopardy on the game in Turin later today.
Indeed, City’s nightmare run continued on Saturday when they were held to a draw by Crystal Palace. Last time out in Europe, meanwhile, Pep Guardiola’s side squandered a three-goal lead to somehow draw with Feyenoord, having been thrashed at Sporting only a few weeks before to see them slide down the table.
Juve, meanwhile, haven’t won any of their last three European games under Thiago Motta. Still, they remain one of the biggest clubs in the tournament and a win in Italy would no doubt be something of a statement for Guardiola’s side.

Juventus vs Man City: Champions League score prediction today
17:33 , Jonathan Gorrie
This is a really intriguing one. As we know, on their day City can beat anyone – and pretty much have. This is almost a Juve side firmly in rebuild/transition mode.
City are in miserable form and can barely muster a win at the moment, and the same can be said for Juventus too, though their injury woes are easing.
Both teams could really do with a win to climb up the standings, and I can see neither getting it.
2-2 draw.

Phil Foden is hopeful of returning after overcoming bronchitis which ruled him out of the draw at Crystal Palace, a game which Rico Lewis was sent off in but is available to start in Italy.
It will be a patched-together back four, with Nathan Ake, Manuel Akanji and John Stones ruled out. Kevin De Bruyne should start again as he looks to build up his match fitness.

Juventus have Dusan Vlahovic available again in a huge boost for Thiago Motta, but the Italian giants are otherwise dealing with a hefty injury list which includes the likes of Douglas Luiz, Bremer and Andrea Cambiaso.
Former City man Danilo should start at full-back.
