Manchester City vs Atletico Madrid: Prediction, kick off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h results

The champions of England face the champions of Spain on Tuesday night when Manchester City host Atletico Madrid.

Diego Simeone has already enjoyed one fruitful trip to Manchester in this edition of the Champions League and now heads to the Etihad Stadium for the first leg of a quarter-final tie.

Atletico hit four goals past Alaves on Saturday night to go into the game on a run of seven wins in their last eight, although a defence of their LaLiga title appears to be beyond them.

Last year’s losing finalists City, meanwhile, maintained their Premier League advantage with a routine win over Burnley.

Billed as a clash of styles, Pep Guardiola has already hit back at the “stupid debate” over the two clubs’ tactics ahead of the game.

Manchester City vs Atletico Madrid is scheduled for an 8pm BST kick-off on Tuesday, April 5, 2022.

The Eithad Stadium in Manchester will host the match.

TV channel: The match will be televised on BT Sport 2 and Ultimate, with coverage beginning at 7pm.

Live stream: BT Sport subscribers will be able to watch the match online via the BT Sport website or app.

Live blog: You can follow all the action via Standard Sport’s live blog.

Kyle Walker serves the last game of his Champions League ban while Pep Guardiola will be without Ruben Dias (hamstring) and Cole Palmer (foot) on Tuesday.

Diego Simeone has a near full-strength squad to select from with Hector Herrera the biggest doubt after missing the win over Alaves.

Joao Felix shook off a knock to score a brace in Madrid while Matheus Cunha, Daniel Wass, Thomas Lemar and Sime Vrsaljko all returned to the matchday squad after injuries.

This is a truly fascinating match-up between two coaches who often have very different ideas about how to play the game.
