CHRIS SUTTON: The Champions League draw threw up a number of enticing encounters and there's ONE English team that I think will get knocked out... here's my guide to the last 16 of the competition

RB Leipzig v Manchester City

Manchester City are favourites to win this tie, but anyone who says it is a foregone conclusion is doing a disservice to RB Leipzig. They are a talented team — one that beat City 2-1 in the Champions League group stages last season.

Head coach Marco Rose took over from Domenico Tedesco in September and has got them playing front-foot football, with French striker Christopher Nkunku their chief threat. Leipzig are very capable of doing damage if given the chance by City.

Just ask Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid, who lost 3-2 to the Bundesliga side last month.
