Against Sevilla, Manchester City hopes to resume its winning ways in the UCL.
When Manchester City hosts Sevilla on Wednesday, they will be eager to return to winning ways.
The Cityzens would like to wrap up the group stages on a positive note, having established their status as group leaders.
It will be difficult for Sevilla to gain anything from the game. Manchester City have never beaten Barcelona in any competition. They are 1-0 down in the Champions League quarterfinal match. They have lost all four of their previous encounters with them. They might yet manage a shock if they can successfully play on the counter against City’s possession-based style of play.
