Manuel Pellegrini said winning away to Juventus and topping the group “would be a big statement” for Manchester City.
The Bianconeri are playing 3-5-2 in Turin this evening after a 2-1 victory in Manchester.
"We didn't have many options. The only change we made is that Gael Clichy needs to play and it will be a good game for him tonight,” the City manager told BT Sport.

The Bianconeri are playing 3-5-2 in Turin this evening after a 2-1 victory in Manchester.
"We didn't have many options. The only change we made is that Gael Clichy needs to play and it will be a good game for him tonight,” the City manager told BT Sport.
“We also have games to play on Wednesday, Saturday and Tuesday. I think we picked the right team for this important game, as we want to be top of the group.
"We had to make some changes because Juventus play in a different way to Sevilla, they have three centre-backs.
"We hope the team performance will be similar to how we played in Sevilla.
"A big statement would be qualifying top with a round to spare. It's important, as I think it is one step higher than in previous seasons for us to finish top of the group.
"It is important to avoid big clubs in the draw for the Round of 16, but also it would be a new achievement and we could finish higher in the Champions League this year."
Pellegrini also spoke to Mediaset Premium in Italy and told them Sergio Aguero “will theoretically play an hour again.”
