Team news

Manchester City

O'Reilly is a doubt. No other absences are reported. Haaland has four Champions League goals this season.

Form guide

Manchester City top the Premier League with a perfect record: seven wins from seven, 19 goals scored and 7 conceded. That run includes a 3-0 win at Liverpool and a 3-2 home win over Ipswich on Saturday. Their only defeat in the league or the Champions League came 4-2 at home to Paris Saint-Germain last week, after a 2-0 win in Porto on matchday one. At home they have won five of six games in all competitions this season.

AEK Athens are unbeaten in the Greek Super League with four wins and two draws, scoring 16 and conceding 3. They won their opening Champions League game 1-0 against LASK, but lost 3-1 at Shakhtar Donetsk last week. Their weekend game at Atromitos was postponed, so they arrive with extra rest.

Head-to-head

We found no previous meeting between the two clubs.

Team news

City report no fresh injuries apart from O'Reilly, who is a doubt. AEK have no reported injuries.

Our prediction and why

Manchester City to win is our banker of the day. City have won every league game this season, have scored at least twice in five of their six home games, and are at home after a rare defeat. AEK are well organised domestically, but they lost comfortably on their only Champions League trip so far.

Other bets to consider

Over 1.5 goals is very likely: City have scored two or more in five of six home games. The odds are too short to add much value, so we keep the home win as our tip.
