Quality.

I think Leicester will get beat by Sevilla, they are a good outfit who (after the last 3 EL wins) must be well suited to European football.

Man City should make light work of Monaco - a big first leg win in Manchester should do it.

Can't see Arsenal getting past Bayern.

Barca, Athletico Madrid, Juventus, Dortmund & Real to be the others to qualify.

Monaco's last 6 league games have seen them score 23 goals and let in 1. Keep reading about how Falcao is looking very good again.

Form can dip/improve between now and when the 1st legs are due to be played. Spurs made them look good, Son should've scored to make it 1-0 in that game and I think City will have enough going forward.

Oh I agree anything might happen, but (on current form) Monaco should make light work of City.

I would agree with that. City should come out of their slump, plus reinforcements could come in during Jan.

Eh? I was merely pointing out that he has done amazingly well in the Europa League - Yes they beat Barca last night but they haven't won the CL under Emery yet.

Predicting Monaco giving Citeh a good rinsing over two legs. Averaging three goals a game this season and Falcao is back among the goals. Bakayoko and Bernardo Silva are ones to watch and could rip Citeh a new sphincter.

Gr8 game. Both teams pretty much have no defence though. Stones and Otamendi cost £82 combined. :shock:
