Manchester City already have one foot in the quarter-finals after a resounding 4-0 win in Switzerland in the first leg. They've won their last three matches and should have no problem in defeating FC Basel here.

FC Basel have lost their two matches since succumbing to a first leg loss to Manchester City with the other two games postponed. They should be well rested coming into this one, but face a nigh-on impossible task of overturning a four-goal deficit.

Manchester City should have no problem in overcoming FC Basel here, even if Pep Guardiola names a changed XI. Bet NaijaBet

Sergio Aguero's next goal will be his 200th for Manchester City, but it is the Argentine's willingness to do much more than just score that has won the confidence of his manager Pep Guardiola.

The Catalan embraced Aguero in a bear hug as he left the pitch having ran himself into the ground in Sunday's 1-0 win over Chelsea, which edged City to within four wins of the Premier League title.

It was the first time in eight home games Aguero had failed to find the net, but that mattered little to Guardiola, who is now seeing the all-round game from Aguero he demands of his strikers.

"Since we were together here with Sergio, I think the last month, two months is the best Sergio I have seen," said Guardiola, preparing his team for the visit of Basle in the Champions League on Wednesday.
