Manchester City and Atletico Madrid face off in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League quarter-final encounter at the Etihad Stadium.
Cityzens accompanying Liverpool and Bayern Munich are one of the betting favourites to win the title at the Stade de France in May.
With Chelsea and Real Madrid also in the hunt, Atletico is considered one of the underdogs. Still, it would be a mistake to dismiss Diego Simeone’s team entirely.
The Cityzens lead with a single point at the top of the Premier League after a 2-0 win against Burnley.
Cityzens have only lost one of their past 20 Premier League matches, winning 17 and drawing two.
The Cityzens won Group A of the Champions League, finishing one point ahead of second-placed Paris Saint-Germain and netting 18 goals.
Cityzens will be confident of defeating Atletico Madrid and securing a spot in the semi-finals after dispatching Sporting CP 5-0 in the round of 16.
On the other hand, Atletico Madrid hammered Alaves 4-1 on Saturday, with Joao Felix and Luis Suarez scoring two goals each.
