It’s been a somewhat sluggish few weeks by the usual sky-high standards of Pep Guardiola’s side, who have now dropped points in back-to-back Premier League games against Arsenal and Newcastle and found Championship side Watford a tough opponent in the Carabao Cup in addition to being held to a goalless draw at home by Inter Milan in their first match of the European league phase.
But this is certainly one of their kindest Champions League ties on paper as they head to take on the reigning Slovakian champions, who have won seven of their first eight games domestically but were smashed 5-1 by Celtic on their maiden appearance in the competition proper earlier this month.
Bratislava count the likes of experienced former City midfielder Vladimir Weiss among their current playing squad.
