Sevilla Sevilla are sweating on the fitness of Ever Banega after he missed their league defeat at the weekend through injury.
They will also be without Nico Pareja, Daniel Carrico and Beto for the reception of Manchester City. Kevin Gameiro is also likely to be missing with a hamstring injury which serves a huge blow to their chances of taking all three points here.
Fernando Llorente should start in this place, although he hasn't been favoured since his arrival. Manchester City Fabian Delph and Gael Clichy are back in full training, but this fixture may come too soon for the pair.
David Silva, Pablo Zabaleta, Samir Nasri and Sergio Aguero are also expected to miss out. Raheem Sterling should return to the starting XI have been dropped to the bench in their 2-1 win over Norwich at the weekend. Wilfried Bony may also retain his spot up front, despite missing several chances at the weekend.
This fixture will be special for Jesus Navas, who is returning to his boyhood club for the first time since leaving for Manchester in 2013. Match Facts Sevilla have lost 5 of their last 6 matches in the Champions League (including qualifiers). Sevilla lose 2.88 There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Man City's last 3 games in the Champions League (including qualifiers). Over 2.5 goals 1.73 * Odds from Prediction Sevilla will be out looking for pay-back after they were cruelly denied any points when Kevin de Bruyne scored in stoppage time in the reverse fixture a fortnight ago. The Spanish outfit have been in poor form this season and slipped to their fourth defeat in 10 league games at the weekend. They have, however, won their last 10 European matches at home and should be confident against a City side that will be without Sergio Aguero and David Silva.
City can qualify for the next stage of the competition with two games in hand should they beat Sevilla and Juventus beat Gladbach in the group's other fixture. However, they've kept just one clean sheet in their last 11 matches and will need to be better at the back if they are to prevail without Aguero and Silva here.
