Manchester City will tonight be looking to put one foot in the quarter-finals of the Champions League when they face Sporting Lisbon in the first-leg of their last-16 showdown at the Jose Alvalade Stadium.
City, who reached the final of the competition last season, losing 1-0 to Chelsea in Porto, secured their place in the last-16 with four wins out of six in Group A, whilst Sporting finished runners-up to Ajax in Group C, clinching second place ahead of German giants Borussia Dortmund.
Pep Guardiola's side are one of the favourites to go deep into the competition once again this season and will be desperate to go one further than 12 months ago and lift their maiden Champions League crown.
