Monaco will host Manchester City on Wednesday in the UEFA Champions League group stage.

The home side is looking to bounce back from a pair of damaging defeats recently. First there was a 4-1 defeat at Club Brugge to kick off the Champions League and then, after a win over Metz in Ligue 1, there was a 3-1 loss to Lorient over the weekend.

Man City also surprisingly struggled out of the gate, but Pep Guardiola's side has been rounding into form with four wins and a draw in its last five games, including a 2-0 victory over Napoli to kick off the Champions League.

This will be the first meeting between the two sides since a memorable last-16 encounter in the 2016-17 Champions League. Led by current City star Bernardo Silva and a teenage Kylian Mbappé, Monaco overcame City on away goals after a 6-6 aggregate result.

City is likely to be without star midfielder Rodri, who sat out a 5-1 win over Burnley on Saturday due to discomfort in his knee.

Even without Rodri, Man City has too much firepower for a struggling Monaco to overcome. The Ligue 1 side's defense has looked especially vulnerable of late, conceding nine goals in its past three games.
