Manchester City will look to make it two wins
from two Champions League group games
when they host Shakhtar Donetsk on Tuesday.
City beat Feyenoord 4-0 in the Netherlands in
their opening match of the competition and
will be favourites to win again with the
Ukrainian champions at the Etihad.
Pep Guardiola's side have scored 22 goals in
their last five games - most recently beating
Crystal Palace 5-0 on Saturday - and they have
not lost a competitive match so far this
season.
It sets up a fascinating clash with Shakhtar,
who started their Champions League campaign
with an impressive 2-1 victory over Napoli at
home.
City midfielder Fernandinho spent eight years
at Shakhtar and expects his old team to play
on the front foot.
"We all know they play attacking football,"
Fernandinho told City's website. "There's a lot
of Brazilian players in their squad.
Pep Guardiola believes it is too early to know
what his Manchester City squad are capable of
this season
"Every year they fight for the title over there
and in the Champions League they try to play
in the same way they play in their domestic
league.
"We have to be prepared for that because they
are a dangerous team. They're full of good
players."
Guardiola added: "Every time I play Shakhtar, I
have the same feeling. When I faced them first
time my team went to see them and came
back and said 'Wow'."
Team news
Benjamin Mendy will undergo a late fitness
check to determine his availability after he
limped off against Crystal Palace (knee).
Ilkay Gundogan has returned to light training
following his injury against West Brom (knee),
but Tuesday may come too soon for the
Germany international.
Vincent Kompany is not ready (knock) for
selection.
Guardiola will be without Vincent Kompany
once again
Match stats
This is the first competitive encounter
between City and Shakhtar.
No Ukrainian club has won an away game in
the Champions League against English
opposition (D2 L12). In fact, Shakhtar have
lost all four of their trips to England in the
competition.
Manchester City are unbeaten in their last nine
Champions League home games (W6 D3), their
longest run without a defeat on home soil in
the competition. City's last defeat at the
Etihad dates back to September 2015 against
Juventus (1-2).
None of City's 37 Champions League group
games have ended goalless.
Sergio Aguero was on target again against
Palace
This is City's seventh consecutive Champions
League participation. They have made it past
the round of 16 only once, it was in 2015/16
when they reached the semi-finals (knocked
out by Real Madrid).
Meanwhile, Shakhtar Donetsk have reached the
knockout stages in three of their last six
Champions League campaigns, their best
performance dating back to 2010/11 (quarter-
finalists).
Shakhtar have lost their last four away games
in the Champions League, conceding 14 goals
and scoring none.

I can only see a continuation of good news for
City. Shakhtar are a decent side and will be
happy to sit in and play on the counter-attack,
but I think that suits City with David Silva and
Kevin De Bruyne so good at unpicking the
lock.
Leroy Sane is in stunning form and they've got
Raheem Sterling scoring as well now, so for
me they are looking like the best attacking
side around. Pep Guardiola has that Barcelona
feel flowing through them.
The full-backs are asked to join in and, while
we know Kyle Walker isn't a £50m player,
Benjamin Mendy is a serious player and is
looking like he's going to be worth every bit of
his fee.
We know they're still vulnerable at the back
with Crystal Palace hitting the post at 0-0 on
Saturday, but are Shakhtar really going to be
willing to come out and have a go?
It says a lot about the edge that Pep has got
that he came out and said they didn't actually
play that well despite beating Palace 5-0 and I
can see another night of free-flowing football.
Charlie predicts: 4-1 and Sergio Aguero to
score first
