Manchester City vs Feyenoord - Champions League: TV channel, prediction, team news and lineups
By Ben Gray
Manchester City have never lost at home to Dutch opposition, winning three out of four, while Feyenoord have lost four of their last five visits to England, although this may not be the home banker you expect.
Manchester City vs Feyenoord Preview
Are we now at the stage where we can ask: are Manchester City in crisis? On Saturday, the Citizens were smashed 4-0 by Tottenham, thereby enduring their heaviest home league defeat since February 2003, when they still played at Maine Road. This made it five successive defeats for Pep Guardiola's team, including three Premier League loses on the spin for the first time since Manuel Pellegrini was at the helm in 2016.
Meantime, in the Champions League, the Sky Blues currently sit tenth in the gigantic league table, two points adrift a top eight spot, having been hammered 4-1 by Sporting CP earlier this month, despite actually taking an early lead through Phil Foden in Lisbon. Next up, Man City will visit run-away league-leaders Liverpool on Sunday so, before that daunting trip to Merseyside, can they claim a morale-boosting victory?
Feyenoord meantime are down in 21st, albeit just one point worse off than their hosts, seeking points that'll enhance their own knockout phase ambitions. Bizarrely, Brian Priske's side have won both away games, but lost both at home in the Champions League thus far. De club aan de Maas have been beaten by Bayer Leverkusen and, most-recently, previously pointless RB Salzburg at De Kuip, but have scored three during victories over both Girona at Montilivi and then Benfica in Lisbon; Antoni Milambo on target in both.
Feyenoord still have to welcome Sparta Prague and Bayern Munich to Rotterdam, before concluding the league phase in Lille, making every point precious as they aim to remain in the top 24. Domestically, despite only losing once, Feyenoord are currently third, eight points adrift run-away Eredivisie leaders PSV, swatting aside Heerenveen 3-0 at the weekend. This though will be an exponentially tougher test, so can the 1970 European champions add to Man City's misery?

Manchester City Team News
With Rodri obviously sidelined long-term, it's far from ideal that Mateo Kovačić is now injured too, while Matheus Nunes was bizarrely left on the bench at the weekend, with İlkay Gündoğan at the base of midfield and Rico Lewis alongside. In goal, Stefan Ortega has started two of the four Champions League games so far, but Ederson is expected to be donning the gloves. Elsewhere, there's still no Rúben Dias, Jérémy Doku or Oscar Bobb, but Jack Grealish is back, while Kevin De Bruyne has come off the bench in each of the last three games, so could start for the first time since 18 September against Inter.
Manchester City predicted lineup vs Feyenoord: (4-1-4-1): Ederson; Walker, Akanji, Gvardiol, Aké; Lewis, Gündoğan, Silva, Foden, Savinho; Håland.
Manchester City Player to Watch vs Feyenoord
Erling Braut Håland has bagged just two goals in his last seven Premier League appearances, but his record in the Champions League is astonishing, scoring 44 in 43 outings in this tournament, three of which have come this season, seeking to further improve that ratio.
Feyenoord Team News
Brian Priske will be accompanied by a depleted traveling party. First-choice goalkeeper Justin Bijlow, captain Quinten Timber, defenders Jordan Lotomba, Hugo Bueno and Quilindschy Hartman, Brighton loanee Ibrahim Osman as well as strikers Santiago Giménez and Ayase Ueda are all sidelined. Meanwhile, Chris-Kévin Nadje is suspended, having been sent off during the calamitous home defeat at the hands of RB Salzburg. At the back, started the last two Champions League games, Gernot Trauner is set to return alongside Dávid Hancko.
Feyenoord predicted lineup vs Manchester City: (4-3-3): Wellenreuther; Read, Trauner, Hancko, Smal; Zerrouki, Hwang In-beom, Milambo; Hadj Moussa, Paixão, Carranza.
Feyenoord Player to Watch vs Manchester City
Igor Paixão bagged his third goal of the season at the weekend, with the Brazilian set to be Feyenoord's most-likely threat in Manchester.
Manchester City vs Feyenoord Prediction
Despite recent form, we are backing Man City to win this one. Feyenoord arrive with almost an entire starting 11 unavailable, so Guardiola's team can't possibly lose again, can they? No, surely not: Manchester City 3-1 Feyenoord.
