Sporting vs Manchester City: Prediction, kick off time, team news, TV, live stream and h2h - Champions League

Manchester City are the bookmakers’ favourites to win the Champions League this year, and with good reason too.

They are unbeaten in 15 matches in the Premier League and are nine points clear of Liverpool at the top of the table.

The one doubt about City when it comes to their Champions League ambitions is whether they are able to withstand the pressure that comes with such high expectations.
