Manchester City’s torturous campaign could be pushed further into chaos if they fail to beat Club Brugge in the Champions League tonight.
They are currently sitting on eight points, one of the important places that will send them in a two -legged tie to decide whether to participate in the knockout phase.
For Brugge, they have everything to play.
The Belgian side can still end up in automatic sites, and currently sits in the Top 24, it should take a big goal -a difference to fall out.
