Current form: Manchester City vs Schalke

Manchester City's Champions League dreams appeared to be hanging by a thread before the Citizens rallied back to score three away goals, and now Pep Guardiola's men are within touching distance of the quarter-finals. However, Schalke, despite being the clear underdogs in this tie, aren't out of it yet. The German side did manage to score two goals in that thrilling first leg and should they manage to net at the Etihad today, things could get a lot more interesting. Of course, given City's impressive form at home, the Premier League leaders should have no problems grabbing at least a goal or two on home turf.

Domestically, City have been in great form. They have won their last five Premier League games and sit one point clear of Liverpool in the battle for the Premier League title, and recently beat Chelsea on penalties in the League Cup final.

Schalke come into this game in poor form. They have lost five of their last six games, including a recent 4-2 defeat to Werder Bremen which leaves them in 14th spot in the Bundesliga and just four points away from the relegation places, so they will be desperate to get back on track here. However, they will need to score at least twice at the Etihad to have any chance to advance to the quarter-finals.
