Having responded strongly to an opening setback in Group F and sealed qualification with a game to spare, Manchester City are looking to wrap up first place in the section as they conclude their campaign at home against Hoffenheim, the visitors now setting their sights on the UEFA Europa League as their first UEFA Champions’ League group campaign draws to a close.
City booked their place in the round of 16 with a 2-2 draw at Lyon last time out, and hold a three-point lead over the French club at the top of the standings. The English champions will therefore clinch first place if they avoid defeat, or if Lyon do not win at Shakhtar Donetsk.
