ALVAREZ HAILS AWESOME HAALAND BUT INSISTS THEY CAN'T BE COMPARED
“[Erling Haaland is] important for us. We're as old as each other but we can both learn from each other. We both want to bring the best for the team. We're very different players but people have to adapt to different play and styles when players line up. I like to occupy different positions.”
Julian Álvarez on Haaland, who is not involved in City's squad tonight.

NO SUCH THING AS A DEAD RUBBER
"We want to win the game and to continue to practice things. The players see (for) themselves how good they (Sevilla) are, for the prestigious, we have to do it."

SEVILLA AIMING TO BRIDGE THE GAP TO HIGH-FLYING MANCHESTER CITY
"We know the difference between our sides. We have to be aware of that and minimise those differences. We also know that it's a very important game for us that could provide a boost for the squad, which is also important."
Sevilla coach Jorge Sampaoli

PEP PUTS FAITH IN MUCH-CHANGED MAN CITY
Unsurprisingly, Pep Guardiola has made several alterations to the team that won 1-0 at Leicester at the weekend.
Aymeric Laporte, Ilkay Gundogan, Julian Alvarez and Jack Grealish are the only players to retain their places while 17-year-old Rico Lewis is handed a first start.
The highly-rated Cole Palmer also features.
