This is a complete dead rubber.
Manchester City are already through as group winners, while Sevilla are certain of third place, which will see them drop into the Europa League.
City will rest here, but their 'second string' is far superior than their opponents, and some of the players in that side will be looking to state their claim for a spot in the first team.
One of those could be RIYAD MAHREZ, and his price to SCORE ANYTIME looks too big to turn down.
The Algerian was an important player for City last season, scoring 11 times and assisting a further five goals in the Premier League from 1659 minutes (the equivalent of 17 full games).
Score prediction: Man City 3-0 Sevilla (Sky Bet odds: 7/1)

Chelsea are already guaranteed to finish in top spot of Group E so Graham Potter could give some fringe players a chance.
However, Dinamo need victory for a chance of entering the Europa League. The visitors would also then need Salzburg to lose in Milan to finish third in the group.
In their last five games, the Blues have allowed an average of 6.2 shots on target per match. With the group wrapped up, a drop in intensity would be no surprise.
The visitors will create opportunities and have to get on the scoresheet, but even if the hosts field a weakened side, they ought to do likewise.
As such, BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE at 19/20 seems the standout pick.
Score prediction: Chelsea 2-1 Dinamo (Sky Bet odds: 7/1)
Odds correct at 1230 BST (01/11/22)
