Match Preview
Manchester City will be hoping to continue their impressive form in the Champions League after reaching the final last season, only to lose to Chelsea. They are currently unbeaten in their last 16 games in the competition, with their last defeat coming against Lyon in the 2019-20 season. City have started the new season strongly, winning all of their first three Premier League games, scoring 11 goals and conceding just once. They will be without midfielder Kevin De Bruyne and striker Phil Foden due to injury, but still possess a strong squad with the likes of Jack Grealish, Riyad Mahrez, and Ferran Torres.
RB Leipzig, on the other hand, will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing start to the season, having lost two of their opening three Bundesliga games. The German side reached the semi-finals of the Champions League in 2019-20 but failed to progress from the group stage last season. They will be without some key players such as Marcel Sabitzer and Dayot Upamecano, who have moved to other clubs, and midfielder Konrad Laimer who is injured. However, they still have some dangerous players such as Dani Olmo and Christopher Nkunku.
Overall, it promises to be an intriguing encounter between two sides who like to play attacking football. Manchester City will be favorites to win, but RB Leipzig will be eager to cause an upset and kick-start their season.
