It's the final round of Champions League group games - but how will Manchester City and Manchester United fare?

Here, Soccer Saturday pundit Charlie Nicholas predicts how United will fare away to Valencia and how Manchester City will get on at home to Hoffenheim.

Valencia vs Man Utd, Wednesday 8pm

This'll be my game. United have done the hard work and got through. Going to Anfield will be the first thing in Jose Mourinho's mind so he'll be ready to take the hit on this one.

Paul Pogba and the others that have been left out will get a little run out. Sunday's everything for them and that is where their mind will be.

Man City vs Hoffenheim, Wednesday 8pm

Pep Guardiola was a little bit upset after the weekend so he'll want a response from his team.

He'll make changes but they'll still be too strong and Hoffenheim will play an open game which is right up Man City's street.
