I think Tottenham will struggle on the reverse fixture, especially with Captain Kane out now. I would rather them win but I think City will be too strong at home. Interestingly enough they'll both be playing each other a few days later in the Premier League. That will be a very interesting game as one team will surely want retribution for being knocked out whatever happens.

And both fixtures are at home. So at least City got that going for them... It's gonna take a whole lot from it's players and the staff to win the league imo, since there's the FA Cup final and they're still in the CL.

No offense to Liverpool fans, but them winning the league kinda feels like it's gonna fall on their lap cos of City's fixtures.

City definitely have the easiest of fixtures but Liverpool are still a game in front and can't afford to slip up. It's probably going to come down to whoever loses one game now and it'll probably be all over for them if they do.

Ajax will be without Tagliafico on the left wing for the return leg. He got a yellow card and is suspended for the 2nd match. Lasse Schone limped off because of an injury, I don't know how serious that is. Ajax is also still fighting with PSV for the league title so they can't afford to play badly in the league meaning they have to filed a strong lineup during the weekend. Juventus on the other hand has an 18 points advantage in the league and will be playing SPAL. At least 7 starters will be rested during that match and that could end up being the advantage the Juve needs to qualify for the next round.

I think it would be very unwise of Juve to sit back and think they've got this in the bag. Ajax could be the dark horse of the tournament. They turned over Real Madrid away and I think RM seriously underestimated them having a 2-1 advantage from the first leg and two away goals and it cost them in the end. Real Madrid might not be the team they were the last few tournaments but all they were really missing was Ronaldo and Zidane. I think Real probably will win at home but they certainly should'nt take their foot off the gas and assume this will be a walk-over.
