Manchester City will look to wrap up their Champions League last-16 tie as they welcome FC Basel to the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday night.

City take a 4-0 aggregate lead into the return leg after a demolition job in Basel at St. Jakob Park three weeks ago.

A brace from Ilkay Gundogan followed by goals from Bernardo Silva and Sergio Aguero secured City's biggest away in the competition to date and put them in pole position for a place in the quarter-finals.

Team News

Raheem Sterling, who has a hamstring injury, is a doubt having not played since the first leg, whilst Fernandinho, who also has a hamstring problem, is also set to be sidelined after limping off in the Carabao Cup final.

Benjamin Mendy has returned to training for City but after a lengthy lay-off is unlikely to return.

Meanwhile, visitors Basel will be without Taulant Xhaka who is suspended, Eder Alvarez Balanta and Germano Vailati will undergo late fitness tests and there could be a return to the starting line-up for Raoul Petretta, Luca Zuffi and Renato Steffen.

The formbook

As City look certain to be crowned Premier League Champions, their opponents currently sit second in the Swiss Super League having also suffered defeat to league leaders Young Boys last week in the semi-final of the Swiss Cup.

Basel have lost four of their last five games and come into the match with low self-esteem having failed to score in any of their last three.

City come into the game off the back of a 1-0 victory over Chelsea which was their third win in seven days, clinching the Carabao Cup along the way.

Manager's say

City boss Pep Guardiola maintains that his side must remain focused and not make any mistakes against Basel.

The coach has also dismissed claims that his City squad are on par with the Barcelona team that he led to Champions League glory on two occasions.

He stated that his current group of players have only won one trophy under him so far and cannot yet be compared to that amazing Barca side.

Basel manager Raphael Wicky has been disheartened with his team's performances in recent weeks but insists they will bring a positive attitude to tonight's game.

Wicky claims that the game starts at 0-0 and that his side must enjoy this game and give it their all.
