Atalanta vs Man City: Prediction, team news, live stream, TV, H2H, betting - Champions League preview

Manchester City head to Milan on Wednesday night looking for a win against Atalanta which would send them into the Champions League knockout stages.

Pep Guardiola's side are cruising at the top of Group C with three wins from three, and can qualify with a win in Italy.

Atalanta are rock bottom of the pile with three straight defeats, but have showed spirit with a last-minute home defeat to Shakhtar, as well as going ahead at the Etihad before sinking to a 5-1 defeat.

Man City will already be busy preparing for Sunday's Premier League title test against Liverpool, but Guardiola's champions must be fully focussed on Wednesday to avoid a potential shock at San Siro.
