Premier League champions Manchester City will start as heavy favourites when they travel to take on Schalke 04 in the first leg of their last 16 ties in the Champions League.

Many football stakeholders expected more from Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola in the Champions League than what he has offered since he was appointed in 2016 and this season represents a fantastic opportunity to write the wrongs of the last two seasons.

Manchester City lost to French club AS Monaco in the last 16 in his first season before Liverpool knocked the Citizens out of the competition last season at the quarterfinal stage.

The English champions had reached the last four in the last season (2015/16) under Manuel Pellegrini.
