Zabaleta warns Man City over Celtic backlash

Manchester City defender Pablo Zabaleta expects to face a different Celtic side to the one which was hammered by Barcelona.

Pablo Zabaleta has told his Manchester City team-mates not to expect an easy ride against Celtic in the Champions League.

City have won 10 successive matches to kick off Pep Guardiola's reign, one of those wins being a 4-0 thrashing of Borussia Monchengladbach in their first Group C match.

Celtic, meanwhile, were thumped 7-0 by Barcelona to open their European campaign, with Guardiola's men strong favourites to hand them back-to-back defeats in the competition when they meet in Glasgow on Wednesday.
