Two games remain in the revamped Champions League's new 36-team league phase and Manchester City are in danger of elimination.

City currently sit 22nd, one point above Paris St-Germain who City visit next on Wednesday.

They then host Club Brugges at the end of January in their final league stage fixture.

Opta predict Pep Guardiola's men will qualify in 22nd on 11.64 points, and have a 63% chance of making the last 16 despite their difficult start.

That means Opta expect City to pick up over three points in their games against PSG and Brugges.

If they do finish in 22nd they will face a play-off tie.

Those finishing between ninth and 16th will be seeded and face a team placed 17th to 24th, with the advantage of playing the second leg at home.
