Manchester City is chasing Arsenal in the Premier League, but in the Champions League it depends on itself and in order to qualify for the quarterfinals for the sixth season in a row, it needs a victory over Leipzig, which in the first game in Germany about three weeks ago squeezed 1:1 against the English champions.
Manchester City conceded an equalizer in Germany to a strike from stopper Yoshko Guardiol, but have since gone on a four-match winning streak in all competitions and seem to be gearing up for the money time of the season.
City also have a great record against German teams, as evidenced by nine consecutive victories against German opponents in home games in the Champions League - in all nine games they scored at least twice.
For a long time, Pep Guardiola has had a full squad at his disposal, and Kevin de Brauna returned to the team, who did not start in the 0:1 victory over Crystal Palace on Saturday.
On the other hand, Marco Rosa is missing two of his most important players, top scorer Christopher Ankonko and midfielder Xaver Schlager, but the visitors hope that Emil Forsberg, who is in excellent form and has actually scored in all three of the last games, will be able to spring a huge surprise for them - Leipzig only reached the quarter-finals in the 2019/20 season. Then in the round of 16, they eliminated Tottenham, whom they beat in London, and on the way to the semi-finals against Paris Saint-Germain, they also passed Atletico Madrid.
Together again on the grass.
