This game itself, you'd expect historically that it wouldn't matter that much because City would have done the business to this point but here they are, the pressure is on.

It's away from home against a side that also know themselves they need to take advantage of being at home today.

Left-back Kieran Tierney, back in training after six months out with a hamstring injury, could make his first appearance in European competition for Arsenal since November 2022 and is among their substitutes.

The Scotland international spent last season on loan at Spain's Real Sociedad, but Gunners boss Mikel Arteta is pleased with the determination he has shown since returning.

"He's ready and training really well and he's going to have an opportunity for sure the way the team is looking at the moment," the Spanish coach said.

"He's going to do that for that reason and because he's earned it. The way he's behaved, the way he's been with us and because he's willing to do it. When that happens you have to give opportunities to those kinds of players."

Arteta has been "really impressed" by what he has seen from Monaco, who suffered their first defeat in the competition last time out on matchday five.

"You see the run that they've been on in the Champions League. They're a real threat with a lot of qualities," Arteta said.

It is all over at the Metropolitano, where Atletico Madrid have won 3-1 against Slovan Bratislava.

Diego Simeone's side sit 10th in the table just outside the top eight places that guarantee a spot in the last 16, while their opponents remain bottom without a point.

Meanwhile, Lille are sixth at present after they secured a 3-2 victory over Sturm Graz, who are four points adrift of a spot in the play-off round.

Manchester City

Guardiola speaking to TNT Sport pre-match on what makes Juventus the best team in Italy: "The history and the titles. They have won the most in Italy and have been the best."

On Juventus boss Thiago Motta: "First time, he's young. He did really well in Bologna last season, qualifying for the Champions League and playing really good. He is trying to do it here [at Juventus]."

On replacing Stefan Ortega with Ederson: "I decide for Stefan. Everybody is involved to change a little bit the dynamics, that is all."

On Jack Grealish and Jeremy Doku coming back into the starting XI: "Of course they are important players because we have had problems in the middle. It's another type of players because we play away in the Champions League. In the game before against Nottingham they played really well and can hopefully play well tonight."

Manchester City have conceded seven goals in their last two Champions League games (4 v Sporting and 3 v Feyenoord), after keeping a clean sheet in their first three this term.

In his managerial career, Pep Guardiola has never seen his side concede more than twice in three consecutive Champions League matches.

Aside from the two English sides in action this evening, there are some cracking Champions League matches across Europe.

Two former winners of the European Cup/Champions League play at the San Siro, where AC Milan take on Red Star Belgrade. Benfica host Bologna but arguably the pick of the bunch is Borussia Dortmund v Barcelona.

The match at the Westfalenstadion will have likely hold added significance for Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski, who spent four seasons at Dortmund and won two Bundesliga titles with the club.

Manchester City defender Ruben Dias says how they respond to their poor run, and not all their trophies, could define their "legacy".

City have won 18 trophies, including six Premier League titles in and the Champions League in eight years under Pep Guardiola.

But they are currently on a run of one win in nine games.

"It doesn't really matter how much you have accomplished in the past, how much you are going to accomplish, you are always going to be demanded more of," said Portugal centre-back Dias.

"You are always going to demand more of yourself and always going to want more as well.

"The fact that people doubt is the one thing that brings you strength, the one thing that inspires you to be greater and greater.

"This is our legacy. More than the Treble or the four Premier Leagues in a row. All of it is spectacular but I do believe that the one thing that defines a legacy is how you reacted in the most difficult moment of your career.

"I am a true believer in those moments being the ones that define you. We embrace the difficult moments because those are the ones I personally will remember."

Juventus are unbeaten in their last five games against Manchester City - three wins and two draws.

City won the first meeting - in the 1976-77 Uefa Cup - but never again.

City have never gone six meetings without beating a team in European competition.

Imagine if that's how brain surgery worked.

Manchester City

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, speaking to TNT Sport: "It was painful in terms of results. The results would be better in the past to sleep better but the results in the past don't change what we have to do [against Juventus]."

Is the hardest period of his managerial career? "The exceptional thing is when you win four Premier Leagues in a row and six in seven [years]. People think that this team cannot lose and the problem is that they are wrong. Of course you can lose.

"Sooner or later you drop a little bit and what you have to do immediately is to get up."

On Juventus: "We don't have seven or eight games to come back. We have three games. It's Juventus, Juventus are the best team in Italy in terms of Serie A titles won. Difficult place to come but that's what it is all about - to challenge against the best."

On his team's mentality: "I'm not able to make surgery in the brains of the players and see what they are thinking with their mentality. We suffer a lot but defines the teams, the players, the managers and everything in the club. The difficulties is what we have to and now is the moment."

Juventus are one of only three teams unbeaten in the league - in Europe's top five leagues.

But they only sit sixth in Serie A - because they have drawn nine of their 15 games.

Stuttgart are the only team to beat them since April.

Juve have drawn their last four games in all competitions, and seven of their last nine.

Juventus winger Kenan Yildiz has called this match "a dream come true".

"It is one of those challenges that you have wanted to play since you were a child; the Champions League is a magical competition, I have worked so hard to be here and when I hear the anthem I get chills," the 19-year-old Turkey international said.

"Manchester City is a team with so many champions, like Phil Foden and Erling Haaland; it is an honour to play against champions like them.

"We have prepared very well for the challenge, it will be a big night for the team and for me, I will do my best. We are going into this from a draw but our focus is on tomorrow, we are united and excited to play this match."

Juventus boss Thiago Motta: "It is a great opportunity for us to face a great club like Manchester City.

"We have prepared to give it our all in the game, carefully studying what we must do and what we must not do against such a huge opponent.

"I cannot pass judgement on their current situation, but this is a team that has proven their immense value over the years, so I have enormous respect for them and for their coach Pep Guardiola, for whom facts simply speak for themselves, as he has managed to win everything and consistently.

"Commanding the game is not just about possession but attitude: we know that Manchester City want to attack and keep the ball; we will have to defend well and show great quality when we have possession."

Lille are now 3-2 up against Sturm Graz courtesy of a late goal from Hakon Arnar Haraldsson.

The Austrian side had fought back from being two goals down earlier and will now have to go on the offensive again if they are to get anything out of this contest.

@ElmoreRob on X: So with all these Arsenal injuries, Kieran Tierney still doesn't get a start? Ridiculous.

Manchester City

Manchester City winger Jeremy Doku, speaking to TNT Sport pre-match: "We know it is a big game so we try to prepare as good as possible. We try to prepare well for this team because it is another competition. I think we are ready."

On if there is added pressure on this game: "When you play for team like Man City then there is pressure on every game. Every game is like a final. It's just another game that we will try and win."

On Juventus: "It's a team that plays at home and the supporters can be an advantage. They have good players because they are a big team."

On how City will approach the match: "I hope we just play our game and have the ball more than them. That is what I hope and that is what we will try to do."
