Turkish referee Halil Umut Meler will take charge of City's 'dead rubber' Champions League last 16 second leg against Sporting Lisbon at the Etihad Stadium, in which City have a 5-0 first leg lead.
HALIL UMUT MELER
The fairly inexperienced Champions League referee - with just three matches on his all-time record - does have experience of refereeing Manchester City in a dead rubber Champions League match (just a coincidence, we're sure). The 35 year old was the man in the middle for the blues' final group game of last season's Champions League - where City has already booked their place in the last 16 of the competition and topped the group - but that didn't stop City from beating Marseille 3-0.
