Manchester City will bid to join Chelsea in the quarter-finals of the Club World Cup as they come up against Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal on Monday night.

City were the only team in the tournament to win all three of their group games and they will hope to carry that momentum into their last-16 outing in Orlando.

Wydad Casablanca and Al Ain were swept aside by an aggregate of 8-0 before City thrashed Juventus 5-2 in a statement performance last Thursday.

"We're still early in the season, but I think the energy is different," said Matheus Nunes, who shone at right-back against the Italians.

"What I like most about this tournament is that we entered all the games to win and it has to be that way until the final."
