Despite its status as a favorite on paper, Manchester City's recent games have raised some doubts about the final result. Nevertheless, any club tries to demonstrate its best features in a game with such an opponent, and for many rival players this is a great chance to show themselves in the best light in front of potential employers in the face of richer clubs. But still, I am inclined to believe that Manchester City is still really the favorite, but I would not be too surprised that it will have a hard time in this match, but City should take a draw for itself at least.
Manchester City still have four players who are still recovering from injuries and that will certainly still make Manchester City uncomfortable in winning the match even though Manchester City will be playing at home and will face Feyenoord as their visitors in the next match in this season's Champions League. However, I would also place Manchester City as the favourites to win the match and if that does not happen, Manchester City will be in a fairly crucial position in the Champions League table so a draw is at least necessary for Manchester City to avoid putting themselves in a worse position in the standings.
