Match background Manchester City • The Citizens have played in four previous round of 16 ties. Last season Josep Guardiola's side lost on away goals to AS Monaco FC (5-3 home, 1-3 away), their third defeat at this stage. City also went down to FC Barcelona in 2013/14 (0-2 home, 1-2 away) and 2014/15 (1-2 home, 0-1 away); their sole last-16 success was a 3-1 aggregate victory against FC Dynamo Kyiv in 2015/16 (3-1 away, 0-0 home). • The 2015/16 campaign is the only previous occasion City won their UEFA Champions League group and also the only time they won the subsequent round of 16 tie. • This is City's first tie against Swiss opposition. • City are unbeaten in their last 13 home fixtures in the UEFA Champions League (W10 D3), qualifying included, since a 2-1 Juventus reversal on matchday one in 2015/16. The Juve loss was their fourth in six matches at the City of Manchester Stadium, with just one win in that run. This season they have beaten FC Shakhtar Donetsk (2-0), SSC Napoli (2-1) and Feyenoord (1-0) in Manchester. • Guardiola's side have won seven of their last eight home European matches, including the last four. • Third in last season's Premier League, City are making a seventh straight UEFA Champions League appearance – they are in the round of 16 for a fifth campaign in a row. • Having won their first five games in this season's competition, City lost 2-1 at FC Shakhtar Donetsk on matchday six. They had previously won 4-0 at Feyenoord and 4-2 at SSC Napoli. • City have therefore recorded their two biggest away wins in the UEFA Champions League proper this season. In addition, their biggest home win is last season's 4-0 group defeat of VfL Borussia Mönchengladbach, while they were 5-0 victors at Romania's Fotbal Club FCSB in last season's play-offs – meaning their four biggest wins in the competition, qualifying included, have all come under Guardiola. • City have never failed to win a European tie after winning the away first leg. There have been eight such contests, most recently against FCSB in the 2016/17 UEFA Champions League play-offs (5-0 away, 1-0 home). In every case bar one, City also won the home second leg; the sole exception was that 2016 tie against Dynamo Kyiv (0-0 home). • The Manchester club have never previously won an away first leg 4-0.
