Both Man City and Man Utd will face crunch match up which will decided their qualification to the knock out stage of the Champions League. Man Utd's case is straight-forward. Avoid defeat and they are through. For Man City, even if they win, which I think they should, it might not be enough. They have to depend on Villareal to get something out of their game against Napoli.
Do you think both will get through or will they fell at the last hurdle? My guess, Utd through and City to continue their european adventure in the Europa League.

Both teams flunked their exams. Man United lost the match and got knocked out of Champions League. Man City won their match and still got knocked out of the champions league. Now both the fancied Manchester clubs will ply their trade in the Europa League which definitely has got a major boost in popularity with this.
Cheers!

Hi sjskl. I am huge manutd fan and I am really surprised that we have gotten ourselves in this position. When the draw was made it looked like cake walk and now we are even struggling to qualify. But then football is a strange game and it has been proved again.
MY predictions for tonight are that Man Utd will go through but in 2nd palce as I expect Benfica to win and top the group. Man City will win but i think Napoli are too good for Villareal and will beat them. That is great news for a UTD fan like me as City playing Europa league on Thursdays is going affect them on weekend match-day.
Though I expect Man Utd to qualify I fear for the the worst after that . Since Man utd cannot play Chelsea or Arsenal we have Bayern , Barca, Real and Inter waiting for us. Or the draw could be kind and we can avoid these 4 which I think will not happen..My suspicion is that we will draw Madrid as I don remember a Man U- Madrid game after the famous 2003 ties.
SO happy watching and happier Mylotting :) Here is to a great Man UTD win.. Cheers :)
