Schalke beat Borussia Monchengladbach 3-1 at the weekend, with Turkish international Halil Altintop grabbing a brace and Peruvian forward Jefferson Farfan scoring from the spot. Schalke currently lead Group A with four points, having beaten PSG 3-1 and drawing 1-1 with Racing Santander. Against Santander, they were not at their best, but managed to take a point thanks to Orlando Engelaar’s goal. Right back Rafinha will miss Schalke’s next game if he is booked in this game, having picked up yellow cards against both PSG and Racing. Schalke’s attacking triumvirate of Kuranyi, Farfan and Altintop will have a big role to play if the Royal Blues are to beat City.

Manchester City registered a shock 3-0 win over a disjointed Arsenal side at home on Saturday. The goals came from Stephen Ireland, Robinho ( an exquisite chip) and Daniel Sturridge( penalty). Joe Hart made a surprise return to the starting XI, having recovered from his ankle injury. City’s only European group game this season saw them beat Dutch side FC Twente 3-2, with Robinho, Shaun Wright Phillips and Benjani scoring.

 

 

The team that wins this clash will almost certainly qualify for the next stage.. When these two teams met in the semifinals of the European Cup Winners Cup in 1970, Schalke won 1-0 at home thanks to a Reinhard Libuda strike, but lost 5-1 away. Can Man City come out with three points from the Veltins Arena? Or will Schalke stamp their authority on Group A with a win? Watch Schalke vs Man City live to find out.
