Manchester City travel to the French Riviera on Wednesday, aiming to make it two wins from two in their Champions League campaign.
After a comfortable opening victory against Napoli, Pep Guardiola’s side are in good form. They will be looking to build on their 5-1 weekend demolition of Burnley with another strong performance.
The fixture also offers a chance for revenge. Monaco are one of only two teams to have ever eliminated a Pep Guardiola side from the Champions League before the quarter-finals, knocking City out in a memorable tie back in 2017. Therefore, a victory at the Stade Louis-II would banish those ghosts and solidify their control of the group.
