MANCHESTER CITY
"Manchester City" in excellent style began this season, only once at the start of misfiring.

In the group stage of the Champions League last year, Manchester City also had no problems. "Citizens" in the quartet with "Shakhtar", "Napoli" and "Feyenoord" won five meetings and left the group from the first place. Stopped MS only in the ¼ finals, stumbled upon a super-motivated Liverpool - 0: 3, 1: 2.
In spite of De Bruijne's injury, Manchester City continues to earn easy victories in the championship. Although the meeting with the "Lyon" is at risk to miss also Benjamin Mendi and Sergio Aguero, which can further weaken the club.
LYON
"Lyon" made his way to the Champions League due to the fact that he finished third in the last season. This helped the "weavers" save their leaders. However, the last two championships in the Champions League turned out to be a failure for Lyon, as the French grandee did not leave the group. In the season 2016/2017 "Lyon" in the company with Juventus, Zagreb Dynamo and Sevilla earned eight points and took only third place.

"Manchester city"
Champion of England under the leadership of Pep Guardiola retained last year's form and in five starting rounds of the Premier League won four matches and once lost points on the field "Wolves". "Townspeople" in that game copiously created moments (18 strokes, 6 - on target), but the ball stubbornly did not want to fly into the goal.
Bookmakers consider the chances of "City" on the trophy in the Champions League very high, but so far for the club is just a cherished dream.
In the last draw of the Champions League the Manchester men came from the first place of the group, then coped with Basel (4: 0, 1: 2), but the end was put by Liverpool - 3: 0 and 2: 1. Jürgen Klopp outplayed Guardiola on all counts.
As for staffing problems, this is the absence of Kevin De Breinet, as well as the injuries of Benjamin Mendy and Fabian Delph. Even the Ukrainian Alexander Zinchenko can leave on the left flank of the defense.

"Townspeople" in the current season look pretty good, but so far inferior to the leading "Liverpool". The problem is that Guardiola's squad managed to lose 2 points due to a 0-0 draw with Wolverhampton. In the last fight the team managed to defeat 3: 0 "Fulham", so the attitude of the mankunians should be militant.
"Weavers" were completely unprepared for the season, because they achieved victory in only two out of five matches. In the extreme game, they painted the world 2-2 with "Kahn" and this despite the fact that they were in the majority of almost the entire second half.
Forecast for the match "Man City" - "Lyon", P1 in the first half of the meeting. The hosts are stronger overall, and then there's the home audience on their side. Most likely, that the mankunians will come forward in the first 45 minutes.
