Coming off a draw with Nottingham Forest in the league in their last game, Manchester City will be looking to get back to winning ways against RB Leipzig. Confidence will be high amongst the squad despite the absence of Kevin De Bruyne, Aymeric Laporte, and John Stones, due to the Cityzens reaching the last 4 of the competition in their previous two attempts.

RB Leipzig on the other hand may not be as optimistic going into this tie. Since their debut season in the Champions League, they have never won a knockout game in the competition. And in Manchester City, they meet an opponent who have only once to a German team in their last 17 matches against such opposition. But that one club was none other than Leipzig themselves, and despite the past, they will be looking towards writing the future.
