City – who have reached the round of 16 for the last five seasons – will be through with a draw and will clinch first place with a win. Lyon will be through with a win and a draw will be enough if Hoffenheim-Shakhtar is also drawn due to their better head-to-head record against the German club. Form guide Lyon • After the City win, Lyon recovered from 0-2 down at home to Shakhtar on matchday two to salvage a point. They then drew 3-3 at Hoffenheim before another draw (2-2) at home, the German club scoring an added-time equaliser in both games. • Those results make it four wins – and only one defeat – in the last eight European matches for Bruno Génésio's side, who have scored two or more goals in each of their last five European fixtures. • Lyon are in the group stage for the third time in four seasons – their 2015/16 and 2016/17 campaigns both ended at that hurdle. • In 2017/18, Lyon made it as far as the UEFA Europa League round of 16, but were denied the chance to appear in the final at their own ground as they lost to CSKA Moskva at that stage. • The 3-2 defeat at home to CSKA ended Lyon's three-game winning run in their own stadium in Europe, and is their only home reverse in 12 European contests (W7 D4), since a 1-0 UEFA Champions League group loss to Juventus in October 2016. • Les Gones beat Everton twice, including 3-0 at home, in last season's UEFA Europa League group stage, matchday one making it three wins in a row against English clubs. They have lost only one of their last seven matches against Premier League opponents, home and away (W4 D2). • Lyon were UEFA Champions League semi-finalists in 2010 and are in the group stage for the 15th time – more than any other French club. Manchester City • City responded to the Lyon reverse with a 2-1 win at Hoffenheim before Shakhtar were beaten 3-0 away and 6-0 at home – the latter result the Manchester club's biggest win in UEFA club competition. • Josep Guardiola's side finished 19 points clear in the English Premier League last season, picking up a record 100 points – although there was frustration as their European campaign ended against familiar opponents, domestic rivals Liverpool running out 5-1 aggregate winners in the quarter-final. • City have won three of their last five European away games, losing the other two. • The Manchester club picked up six points away from home in last season's group stage, winning at Feyenoord (4-0) and Napoli (4-2) before being beaten at Shakhtar. • Despite their current run of three successive victories, City have won only four of their last nine European matches, home and away – losing the other five. • City's best UEFA Champions League performance was reaching the 2015/16 semi-finals; this is their eighth consecutive appearance in the group stage. • The Citizens have visited France only twice before, drawing 2-2 at Paris Saint-Germain in the 2015/16 UEFA Champions League quarter-finals – Kevin De Bruyne and Fernandinho getting the goals – and winning through 3-2 on aggregate. Their last visit brought a 3-1 reverse at Monaco in the 2016/17 round of 16, Leroy Sané on target, and an away-goals defeat after a 6-6 aggregate draw. Links and trivia • Guardiola's Barcelona side beat Lyon in the round of 16 of their victorious 2008/09 UEFA Champions League campaign, winning 5-2 at the Camp Nou after a 1-1 draw at Lyon's old Stade de Gerland home.
