Teams Preview:
UEFA Champions League will be back with a bang on this Tuesday, as Premier League Leaders Manchester City will host Italian Champions Juventus in the much anticipated clash of Group D.
Manchester City has the strong start of the domestic campaign, winning all five games of the season and Manuel Pellegrini’s side is yet to concede a goal this season and they have scored 11. Manchester City latest win came against Crystal Palace on Saturday, thanks to the late strike from a young striker Kelechi Iheanacho. It will be interesting to see where Manchester City will able to transform their domestic dominance to perform better in Champions League.
Manchester City has become such a force in English Football, but their Champions League record is far from convincing. It will be Manchester City 5th appearance in the Champions League, they failed to make past the round of 16. Manchester City has spent heavily during the summer transfer Window, to boost their Champions League chances. The former Liverpool men Raheem Sterling costs £44 million, while his England team-mate Fabian Delph made £8-million switch to Etihad. Nicolas Otamendi joined Manchester City from Valencia in the fee around £28.4 million while Manchester City broke their transfer record by signing Belgium International Kevin De Bruyne for £54.5 million.
Last season in Champions League, Manchester City won the only home game out of four, which came against group leaders Bayern Munich with the 3-2 scoreline as Sergio Aguero scored hattrick.
Sergio Aguero is doubtful for the Champions League opener after limping off in a victory over Crystal Palace, meanwhile David Silva and Raheem Sterling are available to start.
Juventus, who lost to Barcelona in Champions League final last season, has the worst start of Serie A. The Italian Champions are without a win after playing three League games. They placed 16th in the League table, after having just one point and suffered defeat against Title rivals Roma and Udinese.
The big factor behind Juventus’s poor start of the season is down to losing an important player over the Summer. Arturo Vidal joined German Champions Bayern Munich, Andrea Pirlo moved to MLS, Carlos Tevez opted to go his boyhood club Boca Juniors, while Fernando Llorente departed for Sevilla.
However, Juventus managed to keep the hold of Paul Pogba, with Tuesday’s opponent Manchester City are also one of the interested parties. Allegri has added Paulo Dybala, Sami Khedira, Mario Mandzukic, and Alex Sandro to his squad, who are taking their time to fill the void left by Andrea Pirlo, Arturo Vidal, and Carlos Tevez.
Mario Mandzukic, who arrived from Atletico Madrid could start against Manchester City, with Marchisio is still out after suffering thigh injury.
Possible Lineups:
Manchester City Lineup: Hart; Sagna, Kompany, Mangala, Kolarov; Navas, Toure, Silva, Nasri; Sterling, Bony
Juventus Lineup: Buffon; Caceres, Barzagli, Bonucci, Sandro; Pogba; Pereyra, Sturaro, Hernanes; Dybala, Morata
Manchester City vs Juventus: 2-1 to Manchester City to win. Manuel Pellegrini’s men have enough quality to make most of Juventus poor start of the season.
