Manchester City vs. Monaco Preview
Monaco is looking to take their goal-scoring barrage to Manchester City as they face off in the Round of 16 of the Champions League. According to Stats Football, it will be the first-ever matchup between the two clubs.
Manchester City has not lost a game since they were embarrassed 4-0 by Everton last January 15. However, they are also coming off a goalless draw against Huddersfield Town in the fifth round of Emirates FA Cup.
On the other hand, Monaco is on a ten-game unbeaten run and they have not suffered a loss in 2017. In their last match against Bastia on Friday, Monaco only managed to a 1-1 draw against Bastia but they are still atop the Ligue 1 table ahead of Paris Saint-Germain and OGC Nice.
Finally, Monaco is more relatively healthy heading into the game compared to Manchester City. The Citizens will be without Gabriel Jesus, who is out for three months after suffering a broken foot, as reported by The Daily Mail.
