Emphatic 5-1 winners over Atalanta at the Etihad Stadium, Manchester City are cruising into the knockout stages of the Champions League, as three wins from three has launched them to the top of Group C, and Pep Guardiola’s side are red-hot favourites to maintain their 100% record with a win in Italy on Wednesday evening.
Sutton says: “City blew Atalanta away 5-1 at the Etihad and will want to get the job done in Italy and concentrate on the big game Sunday. Atalanta will have a go and City will pick them off.”
Tip: Atalanta 1-3 Manchester City – 10/1 with bet365

Seven points from their opening three games has catapulted Celtic into top spot in Group E of the Europa League, but the Scottish champions have a tough assignment on Thursday as they take on Serie A giants Lazio away from home.
Sutton says: “Lazio have bounced back from the Celtic defeat with three wins on the bounce – including an impressive win in Milan at the weekend. Celtic got a decent point against Rennes away from home in the group opener and backed that up with two big home wins to top the group but I fancy Lazio to nick this one 2-1”
Tip: Lazio 2-1 Celtic – 15/2 with BetVictor

Rangers and FC Porto head into Thursday’s clash both on four points from their opening three Europa League games, and with Young Boys two points clear at the top of Group G then this Ibrox clash could have major bearings on who makes it through to the knockout stages.
Sutton says: “Rangers played very well in Portugal and deserved more than a point. Porto aren’t the European powerhouse they once were and Rangers under the lights at Ibrox will be too strong. Rangers 3-1 Porto.”

It could be a successful week in the Champions League for the English sides, as Sutton not only backs Manchester City to win, but also fancies Liverpool to down Genk with ease and for Tottenham Hotspur to beat Red Star Belgrade. Adding in a Real Madrid win over Galatasary, then that four-fold can provide a sparkling 5/2 acca with Betfred bookmakers.
