We welcome Fabian Hurzeler’s European challengers to the Etihad Stadium at 15:00 (UK) on Saturday 15 March.
It’s a crucial match in the race for Champions League football next term, with both sides feeling they have a chance to play in the continental competition.
Club to celebrate CITC in Brighton game
Having qualified for the tournament in each of the last 14 seasons, we now sit fifth in the Premier League with 47 points from 28 games. Our visitors are just one point and two places back.
UEFA’s coefficient system means that the English top-flight could have five places for next season’s Champions League as opposed to the usual four.
However, we’ll be looking to ensure we don’t need to rely on that as we hunt down Chelsea, who are in fourth with 49 points.
We can go into the game with confidence based on the evidence of this fixture’s history. We have played the Seagulls 14 times in home league matches, winning 12 and drawing twice.
It’s set to be a cracker at the Etihad on Saturday and as always, the best place to follow it is on mancity.com or our official app.
