Champions League action returns on Tuesday evening with two rounds of fixtures remaining in the group-stage phase.

But, as ever, Pep Guardiola is not getting carried away.

"The position we have is good but we have not qualified yet. Tomorrow is a chance."

What Man City need to qualify

Manchester City will seal their spot in the last 16 if they avoid defeat to Shakhtar Donetsk and will be group winners with victory at the Etihad Stadium.

Shakhtar will progress if they win in Manchester and Dinamo Zagreb lose at Atalanta by virtue of away goals scored in their head-to-head games.

Atalanta will not qualify if they fail to beat Dinamo or Shakhtar beat City.
