Manchester City are second-favourites to win the Champions League this season ahead of their knockout clash with RB Leipzig, according to a supercomputer.

And the latest data-driven predictions from FiveThirtyEight ahead of the tie claim Guardiola's men should have enough to progress to the next round.
