Manchester City are desperate to end their five-game losing streak as they host Feyenoord in a must-win Champions League clash on Tuesday. Pep Guardiola’s side, reeling from a humiliating 4-0 Premier League loss to Tottenham, face mounting pressure to revive their season.
City’s Champions League campaign has been shaky, leaving them outside the automatic qualification spots. Another loss at home would mark back-to-back Etihad defeats for the first time since 2018. However, their impressive 33-game unbeaten streak in Champions League home matches offers some hope.
Feyenoord, on the other hand, travel to Manchester with confidence after dominant Eredivisie wins. They’ve already claimed two away victories in the group stage, beating Girona and Benfica, and could make history with a third.
City will aim to repeat their past success against Feyenoord, having beaten them twice in 2017. A win is crucial to keep their European hopes alive.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

The injuries are a big challenge for the Citizens. Rodri is out for the entire season due to a serious ligament injury, and Mateo Kovacic will be sidelined due to an unspecified injury. Other players who are sidelined include Oscar Bobb, who is recovering from a broken leg, and Ruben Dias is also expected to miss the match due to a calf injury.
Meanwhile, Kevin De Bruyne is likely to be included in the lineup for the match against Feyenoord, and Jeremy Doku, who was sidelined due to a thigh injury, is also likely to make his return.
Bruyne could be part of a revamped attack alongside Jack Grealish. Meanwhile, Nathan Ake is likely to replace either John Stones or Josko Gvardiol in defense.

Feyenoord is grappling with a major injury crisis, even worse than Manchester City’s. They missed their eight key players during their victory against Heerenveen. Among the absentees were star striker Santiago Gimenez, who was sidelined due to a hip injury, Justin Bijlow for a muscle injury, and team captain Quinten Timber was out due to an ankle injury. All three remain major doubts for Tuesday’s match.
Other sidelined players include Hugo Bueno (unspecified), Jordan Lotomba due to a hamstring issue, Ayase Ueda was out due to a muscle injury, and Ibrahim Osman (unspecified). Quilindschy Hartman, who is dealing with a long-term knee injury, has also been sidelined for this match until his complete recovery.

Man City vs. Feyenoord Prediction
With Feyenoord struggling with fitness and multiple player injuries, Tuesday’s game presents a golden opportunity for Man City to make a roaring comeback and register a comfortable win at their home.
It is worth mentioning that the visitors have managed just one clean sheet in their last 19 Champions League matches, City should have no trouble finding the back of the net multiple times on their way to a victory.
- Prediction: Man City 3-0 Feyenoord
