Head-to-head
Manchester City have won four of their five Champions League encounters with Shakhtar Donetsk (lost one), keeping a clean sheet in each victory.
Shakhtar Donetsk have lost on both of their visits to face Manchester City at the Etihad in the Champions League, conceding eight goals without reply. They have never lost each of their first three away games against a single team in Champions League history.
Manchester City
Manchester City have lost only one of their last 13 home group stage games in the Champions League (won 11, drew one, lost one) - winning each of the last four in a row, including a 6-0 victory against Shakhtar Donetsk in November 2018.
City have won their last six home Champions League games, the longest current run of any side. The last English side to have a longer run were Chelsea, who won seven in a row at Stamford Bridge between March 2008 and February 2009.
Manager Pep Guardiola has won nine of his 12 matches against Shakhtar Donetsk in all competitions as manager (won nine, drew one, lost two) - he has won more games against the Ukrainian side than he has versus any other in European competition.
Riyad Mahrez has been directly involved in more Champions League goals versus Shakhtar Donetsk than he has against any other team in the competition (two goals, four assists).
Raheem Sterling has found the back of the net in both of his Champions League appearances against Shakhtar Donetsk at the Etihad, netting in September 2017 and November 2018.
Shakhtar Donetsk
Shakhtar Donetsk are unbeaten in their last three away Champions League matches (won two, drew one) - they have never gone four in a row without defeat on the road in the competition.
Shakhtar scored twice in the 90th minute of their 3-3 draw with Dinamo Zagreb on matchday four, becoming only the third team to do so in an away Champions League game, along with Ajax at Thun in November 2005 and Spurs at Inter Milan in October 2010.
Taison has carried the ball a competition-high 1,811 metres so far in the 2019-20 Champions League, with 1,049 of these metres seeing him make progress upfield (another competition-high in 2019-20).
