Manchester City team struggling to scale previous heights in the Premier League resume their attempts to finally win a European crown against RB Leipzig.
The Champions League is the one trophy to have eluded Pep Guardiola at City thus far and the longer he goes without one, the more it is used as a stick to beat him with.
While the English champions are hardly at their best domestically this season, perhaps they are better suited to life in Europe this season.
Though struggling for consistency, having the quality and lethal finishing ability of Erling Haaland may be tailor-made for the knockout format of the Champions League.
Here’s everything you need to know about the game.

Peter Gulacsi, Dani Olmo and Abdou Diallo are missing for the home side, although Chelsea-bound Christopher Nkunku is in contention. Highly-rated defender Josko Gvardiol will play, alongside familiar names in Timo Werner and Emil Forsberg.
For City, John Stones remains injured and Riyad Mahrez could come in for either Jack Grealish or Phil Foden. Bernardo Silva has been playing a left-back of late and it will be interesting to see if he continues there.
