Etihad Stadium will host Wednesday’s David-vs-Goliath clash between Manchester City and Sparta Prague. The Citizens survived Wolverhampton at the weekend and, no doubt, the triumph gave them a confidence boost. Key midfielder Kevin De Bruyne and Rodri remain in the recovery room alongside Oscar Bobb and Kyle Walker, while Nathan Ake is a major doubt. Both Phil Foden and Jack Grealish should be recalled to the starting XI. 

Sparta Prague, on the other hand, did well to hold Stuttgart to a 1-1 draw at Mercedes-Benz Arena, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry in the blue part of Manchester. As previously mentioned, David faces Goliath at Etihad Stadium and anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. It has to be noted that the two sides meet for the first time in the elite competition. The likes of Garcia, Vitik, and Karinen are out of contention for the away team.

Score Prediction: Manchester City 4-1 Sparta Prague
