Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has said his team remains wary of Italian league leaders, Napoli’s third place position just behind City and Shakhtar Donetsk in their UEFA Champions League group F match.
Manchester City will clash with the Neapolitans in Italy on Wednesday
“We need one more win to qualify but we are going to the team that are leading Serie A and everybody knows the type of football they play in their own stadium so it’s going to be very difficult,” said the City boss.
“But it’s a great opportunity for us to book our place and we’re going to try our best to do it,”Guardiola said.
A win will guarantee Man City a qualification for the Champions League knockout stages with two games to spare.
City, unbeaten this season, notched an eighth straight Premier League win on Saturday that keeps them five points clear of nearest challengers Manchester United.
Guardiola’s free-scoring side have won 13 games in a row in all competitions and are unbeaten in their past 21 outings – two new club records.
