It’s top versus bottom in Group F as in-form Manchester City face struggling Feyenoord with Pep Guardiola’s men looking to secure top spot. With 4 wins from 4, City have already secured their passage to the knock-out rounds of this year’s competition but securing top spot should – in theory – provide an easier path to the latter stages of the tournament.

Manchester City
FC FeyenoordManchester City
The blues have won all but one of their games in all competitions this season and have notched a remarkable 52 goals already this term. Their European form has been sensational too – with 12 goals scored from 4 games and 4 wins registered – they sit 3 points clear of Shakhtar Donetsk at the top of the group. Sergio Aguero has scored 2 goals already in this season’s Champions League and will be keen to extend his goal scoring streak against the group minnows.
Feyenoord
The Rotterdam outfit have yet to register a point in this year’s competition, having lost all 4 of their group games so far. Alarmingly, Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s men have conceded 12 goals in their 4 games – including a 4-0 defeat at home to Manchester City on match day 1. Their domestic form has been unbefitting of last season’s Champions too – Feyenoord sit 12 points behind PSV in the Eredivisie and will need a strong second half of the campaign to catch their rivals.
Head to Head
The two teams met for the first time competitively back in September – with Gabriel Jesus, Sergio Aguero and John Stones (x2) scoring the goals in a dominant Blues performance. There is plenty to play for – for both teams – City can edge nearer to claiming top spot in the group (if Shakhtar and Napoli draw or Napoli win – City will guarantee top spot) whilst Feyenoord would have an outside chance of Europa League qualification with a win at the Etihad.

Feyenoord have scored in their last 3 Champions League games whilst City can’t stop scoring.
