Manchester City are making their final preparation ahead of an important Champions League tie this midweek against Italian side, AS Roma at Etihad Stadium and Manuel Pellegrini’s men are determined in snatching all three points from that encounter.

City didn’t make a bright start on their European campaign after suffering a 1-0 defeat from Bayern Munich, that’s why this midweek match becomes an essential tie for Pellegrini’s men as another negative result could make things tougher for them.

The home side are in a good mood after picking up positive result in their recent matches and veteran midfielder, Frank Lampard is also having an excellent form scoring four goals from his last three games.

Meanwhile, Roma themselves are also in an excellent form as they have won all of their games in this early stage of season, including their Champions League battle against CSKA Moscow.
