Pep Guardiola looking for statement win amid nightmare run
Juventus vs Manchester City – LIVE!
Man City head to Juventus for a heavyweight Champions League fixture. Both teams are amongst the biggest names in the competition but are marooned towards the bottom of the play-off spots right now, putting a reasonable amount of jeopardy on the game in Turin later today.
Indeed, City’s nightmare run continued on Saturday when they were held to a draw by Crystal Palace. Last time out in Europe, meanwhile, Pep Guardiola’s side squandered a three-goal lead to somehow draw with Feyenoord, having been thrashed at Sporting only a few weeks before to see them slide down the table.
Juve, meanwhile, haven’t won any of their last three European games under Thiago Motta. Still, they remain one of the biggest clubs in the tournament and a win in Italy would no doubt be something of a statement for Guardiola’s side.
