Juventus
Juventus are all the way down in sixth in Serie A, and their position in this competition is precarious, so a win over a beleaguered City side feels essential heading into the Christmas period.

Like City, Juventus started well in the Champions League this season but have faded somewhat, picking up just two points from their last three European games.

Manchester City
City are enduring an injury crisis that is doing little to aid matters, but Phil Foden should return to action in Turin. Unfortunately for Guardiola, the same cannot be said about Manuel Akanji, Nathan Ake, Mateo Kovacic or John Stones. And, of course, Oscar Bobb and Rodri are nowhere near returning to the fold. Juventus, on the other hand, have seen their own injury issues start to ease with the return of both Dusan Vlahovic and Nicolo Savona recently.
Prediction:Juventus 1-1 Manchester City
