MAN CITY need a miracle to keep their Champions League hopes alive but I can't see Liverpool blowing it.
It's been a disastrous week for Pep Guardiola's side who were destroyed by Liverpool then denied the title with a second-half collapse at home to Man United.
A 3-0 Champions League defeat Anfield leaves them with a mountain to climb at the Etihad and you to fancy the Reds to make it impossible for them by scoring.
No side this century has overturned a 3-0 first-leg quarter-final defeat in the CL.
City beat Liverpool 5-0 at home in the Premier League but defensively were badly exposed at Anfield and look likely to concede an away goal.
They are short odds at 4-9 with McBookie to win tonight and won't tempt many at 5-1 with William Hill to qualify.
Once thing's certain – City will have to score first and early to have any hope. Goals could be the way to go as Pep's men won't sit back but their soft centre could be breached.
Over 2.5 goals pays just 2-5 at betfair while both to score is a bit better at 8-13 with Paddy Power.
Sergio Aguero should start and is 7-2 bet365 to score first and 5-6 at betfair to net – he has scored in six out of six home meetings with Liverpool.
Andfield ace Mo Salah is 7-1 at Unibet to break the deadlock and 7-4 at Betfred to net.
The other tie looks a dead rubber with Barcelona taking a 4-1 lead to Roma. Barca have scored just twice in their last six on the road in Europe and drew 1-1 in Rome three seasons ago. Consider another stalemate at 7-2 with bet365.
If Lionel Messi starts he could hit the target and is 5-6 at betfair to strike at any time.
