Manchester City know it is do or die for them tonight in the Champions League as they must beat Club Brugge to have any hope of reaching the knockout stage.
A remarkable collapse against Paris Saint-Germain, from two goals up, leaves City needing a result to land a play-off spot.
But Brugge, sitting above City in the League Phase standings, can also get their hat into Friday’s play-off draw with a point at the Etihad.
It’s set to be a thrilling, and tense, finale as the first ever League Phase draws to a close.
Date, kick-off time and venue
Man City vs Club Brugge is scheduled for an 8pm BST kick-off tonight, Wednesday, January 29, 2025.

Man City vs Club Brugge team news
Manchester City are counting their wounded as they look to cobble together a defence for this crucial Champions League clash. Ruben Dias picked up an injury against Paris Saint-Germain and Nathan Ake remains a doubt, meaning Manuel Akanji and John Stones, recently back from injury will start.
Jeremy Doku has been ruled out, so Savinho could come in. Abdukodir Khusanov, Vitor Reis and Omar Marmoush are not eligible for the Champions League.
Club Brugge are sweating over the fitness of captain Hans Vanaken, who is a doubt for the trip due to illness.
Man City vs Club Brugge prediction
Manchester City should have all guns firing as they look for the goals needed to keep their Champions League hopes alive.
Club Brugge have their own hopes of a play-off spot on the line, but it will likely be a backs-against-the-wall job at the Etihad for them, and hope results elsewhere go their way.
Man City to win, 3-0.
