THE PREDICTION
With Man City boasting a five-goal advantage going into this second leg, Pep Guardiola will be tempted to rest some of his key men with crucial games in other competitions on the horizon. Such is the strength in depth in the City ranks though, that they will still be favourites to win this second leg. The likes of Gabriel Jesus will be chomping at the bit for inclusion after his injury problems and will be keen to impress with such fierce competition for places, and you can foresee a few more goals being scored here against a beaten Sporting side. Man City to win in a match containing over 2.5 goals is the prediction.
