If this Champions League last-16 second- leg match between Monaco and Manchester City at Stade Louis II (k-o 7.45pm) is even half as good as the first leg at the Etihad last month, we are in for an absolute blast.

That thrilling game ended 5-3 to City, but with both these teams being so strong up front and so porous at the back, the chance of a no-score draw tonight is highly unlikely.

City can usually rely on Sergio Agüero to bang in the goals, while Monaco have a revitalised Radamel Falcao up front, and both strikers certainly put on a fantastic display in the previous encounter.

That was surely a candidate for game of the season – will tonight's meeting be up there with it?
