The latest episode in Manchester City’s quest for a first Champions League title will take place in Gelsenkirchen, where they face Schalke.
City qualified top of a group that contained Lyon, Shakhtar Donetsk and Hoffenheim, and the Premier League leaders will start as hot favourites to overcome their German opposition.
Schalke languish in 14th in the Bundesliga and have won only one of their last five games in all competitions.
They eased through Group D ahead of Galatasaray and Lokomotiv Moscow but behind Porto, and this encounter will represent another step up in class.
