Manchester City vs CSKA Moscow

Last away matches - L-D-W-W-L-D

Manchester City are doing fine in English Premier League, recent derby win over their biggest rivals, Manchester United, should give them additional boost. However, in the Champions League, Manuel Pellegrini’s men are struggling, they are still without a win after 3 rounds. They really disappointed two weeks ago in Moscow and only got a 2:2 draw against CSKA, despite being 2:0 up at half-time. Now, here comes a very important match for the English champions. “I don’t think it’s sudden death – you can continue mathematically but it’s an important game. We have just two more games to play and we need more points. Our team don’t consider it a final game but it’s a very important game. It’s impossible to be sure but I think this group will be decided in the last game against Rome in Italy.

CSKA Moscow aren’t doing well in the Champions League as they only got 1 point so far. In the Russian Premier League their situation is better, however in the last two matches they dropped points (3:3 Ufa, 0:1 Zenit), as a result they are now 7 points behind leaders Zenit. Good news is that Wernbloom and Dzagoev are back after being suspended. CSKA have never won in England (their record is W0, D3, L2).
