MAN CITY face their two biggest games of the season in the space of four days and by Saturday night Pep Guardiola could be written into the club’s folklore.

First up is tonight’s Champions League quarter-final first leg at Liverpool and a positive result will keep City on course for the Holy Grail.

Two Premiershi­p games bigger than 8-15 at William Hill while btts and over 2.5 goals will be popular at evens with Sky Bet.

Liverpool are the only side to beat City in the Premier League and are 2-1 underdogs at McBookie to repeat the feat. City are 7-5 with the Scots firm but draw could be the way to go 13-5.

Salah to score (17-10, SportPesa) CELTIC are just 2-9 to beat Dundee tonight so finding value isn’t easy. Try Celtic -2. Asian Handicap at evens. FRANCK RIBERY created a goal in each half as Bayern Munich came from behind to take a first-leg lead back to Germany.

Sevilla went ahead in 32 minutes, with a touch of fortune, when Pablo Sarabia met a cross in the box which he brought down with his chest – and possibly his left arm – before smashing a shot past keeper Sven Ulreich.

But the lead lasted just five minutes before Munich benefited from a huge slice of luck.

Ribery’s cross from the left was tame and going nowhere until it took a big deflection off Jesus Navas’ heel to beat David Soria, who juggled it on the line but couldn’t hold it.

The French star was involved again as Bayern took the lead midway through the second half.

He crossed to the back post for Thiago Alcantara to score with a header.
