Manchester City face Club Brugge tonight (Tuesday) in the third set of group fixtures of the 2021\/22 UEFA Champions League to qualify for the knockout phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
City have had to go through a tough run of fixtures that saw them beat Chelsea narrowly (1-0), lose to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League and then play out an entertaining 2-2 draw versus Liverpool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Cityzens did bounce back to winning ways this past weekend when they defeated Burnley 2-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And Pep Guardiola will be hoping to carry that form forward when he takes his team to Bruges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Club Brugge, meanwhile, have made a fine start to the campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just one defeat in 11 league outings and four points from their first two Champions League encounters against PSG and RB Leipzig means that Philippe Clement\u2019s men are in a solid position to upset the applecart in Group A, after all, they are a point above the Cityzens in the standings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
