Barcelona vs Manchester City prediction, odds and how to watch

Nottingham Forest produced a stunning 3-1 victory over Manchester City at the City Ground, with Liam Delap scoring twice to cap a performance built on defensive grit and clinical finishing that left City's 78% possession utterly meaningless.

Two of Europe's heavyweights meet at the Nou Camp on Tuesday night. Barcelona look sharp but leaky. City arrive with something to prove. This one will be decided by basics.

Barcelona host Atletico Madrid on Wednesday night in a La Liga fixture that has form, goals, and genuine needle written all over it. The last time these two met, Barcelona won 2-1. Atletico will want answers.

Barcelona arrive at this one in blistering scoring form and with a point to prove after their Real Madrid defeat. Celta Vigo will make it ugly if they can. That is the game.

Manchester City arrive at the Brentford Community Stadium on Saturday evening with two wins from two against this opponent. Brentford have shown they can compete with the big sides this season, but history is not on their side.

Julián Alvarez has apologised for trying to force a move to Barcelona last summer, but only after scoring again. He now faces the Catalan club in a Liga title decider at the Metropolitano, with Atlético fans still withholding full forgiveness.

James Trafford has admitted that being frozen out of Manchester City's starting XI last season left him ringing family to cope, confirming his mental wellbeing was the decisive factor behind his £45m summer move to Leeds United.

Elliot Anderson returns to the City Ground leading the Premier League in fouls won and ranking top-three for duels, passes and touches, proof his £116m Manchester City move has paid off through control rather than goals. Meanwhile Nottingham Forest, the club that sold him, have failed to score in their first four home games, a historic low shared by only four other top-flight sides.
