A noisy evening is in prospect at Celtic Park

OF course it's widely acknowledged that the standard of the Scottish Premier League is nowhere near that of the English top flight.

However, Manchester City will still face a really tough game at Celtic tomorrow in the Champions League.

The competition is not quite the same up in Scotland, but Celtic are undoubtedly the best side up there, and they've got some quality players.

The fanatical support they've got will help them, too.

It's going to be an amazing atmosphere at Celtic Park, but saying all that, City will still be strong favourites to win and ought to have enough to get the three points.

They'll miss Kevin De Bruyne of course through injury, but such is the strength and depth of the squad, I expect City to get the victory.

A tougher test is in prospect on Saturday as City head for Tottenham in the Premier League's second versus first game.

Spurs are in the middle of a rich vein of form, though again, City shouldn't be going anywhere at present with any amount of fear.

All the players are in great form, and confidence is flowing through the team.

The win at Swansea wasn't a vintage one by any stretch, but individually brilliant goals made the difference again.

Sergio Aguero's first touch just before he scored the first goal was unbelievable.

Defenders just can't defend against skill like that when someone like Aguero is in the form he is at the moment.

It is 10 wins on the bounce for Pep Guardiola now, and I just can't see a dip in performance coming any time soon.

On paper there are really difficult games coming up, but the way City are playing you can't see them losing.
