Pep Guardiola admitted his Manchester City side were below their best as they edged out Feyenoord 1-0 to top their Champions League group.

City needed an 88th-minute winner from Raheem Sterling at the Etihad Stadium to extend their club record winning run to 17 matches.

By recent standards it was a flat performance from City but, having already secured a place in the last 16, Guardiola chose to focus on the result.

Guardiola said: "A win is better than not. We are going to analyse the performance - the first half we could do better - but sometimes it is difficult having won lots of games and being already qualified. We didn't have the right tension to play but that is normal.

"We are still winning and we made a fantastic goal, from Raz after an excellent pass from (Ilkay) Gundogan."

What time does it start?

The game kicks off at 7.45pm on Tuesday 21 November.

Where can I watch it?

The game will be broadcast on BT Sport/ESPN.

It’s a big game for…

Bernardo Silva. The winger has yet to establish himself in City's first team but has been promised a starting role against Feyenoord and has the opportunity to force himself into Guardiola's reckoning for what is a packed fixture list heading into the Chrismas period.

Player to watch...
