Manchester City team news, focus

This should be pretty straightforward for City, especially with so many attacking talents flourishing so far in this tournament. The likes of Phil Foden and Jeremy Doku have been excellent, while all of their new signings are showing they are ready to make a big impact right away. Defensively there are still a few concerns but City have their swagger back and against Juventus we saw how they can blow teams away when they’re feeling it like this.

Al Hilal team news, focus

After drawing against Real Madrid in their group stage opener, Al Hilal have continued to be really tough to play against and have conceded just one goal so far. Inzaghi has come straight in and made his mark and Al Hilal will look to frustrate City and then launch rapid counters. They have so much individual quality and have a nice balance about them with Ruben Neves pulling the strings in midfield. Star striker Aleksandar Mitrovic is still missing for Al Hilal, but Brazilian forwards Leonardo and Malcom will cause plenty of problems.

Manchester City vs Al Hilal prediction

This first half is going to be really interesting to see if City can remain patient, but they should take care of business with minimum fuss. Manchester City 3-1 Al Hilal.
