City 5/2 To Qualify
Qualification was up for grabs but neither Manchester team could capitalise. City are now in danger of dropping into the Europa League.
It was a difficult night in Naples for Man City as two Edinson Cavani goals saw them slump to a 2-1 defeat. It now means qualification to the knockout stages is out of their hands. City need to win and hope Napoli drop points away to Villarreal; they are a best price 5/2 to qualify with William Hill.
Neighbours United also failed to seal qualification after drawing at home to Benfica. Destiny is still in their own hands, needing only a draw in their final game away to Basle. United are 2/7 (Bet365) to qualify having been 1/100 certainties yesterday.
