Celtic have lost 26 of their last 29 Champions League games away from home – whilst never managing to keep a clean sheet.

Can Moussa Dembele recreate this display of individual brilliance tonight? For a man of such ability, City look incredibly slack with their marking there – Guardiola will be hoping that his side learnt their lesson the hard way.

Player to watch…

Despite the fact that his side are unable to qualify, he is set to cause an upset tonight.
