It's no secret that Manchester City are desperate to win the Champions League, and coming so close last season only to fall at the final hurdle stung both the players and the fans. This season, the expectation on Pep Guardiola's men to lift the trophy will be enormous.
No wonder, with a squad so stacked with talent many would argue that even Manchester City's B-team could make a pretty good fist of the tournament. There are definitely plenty of reasons for Manchester City supporters to feel confident that this year could finally be theirs.
Big-money summer recruit Jack Grealish is settling into the team nicely, though the failure to secure a replacement forward for the outgoing Sergio Aguero could come back to bite the team. Nevertheless, City have started the season in good form. They may sit fifth in the PL table, but they've only lost a single game from four and have scored 11 in the process while conceding just a solitary goal.
Manchester City haven't failed to make it out of the CL group stage since the 12/13 season, and while they face a tricky run this year with games against PSG and Club Bruges to come, that streak seems highly unlikely to be broken. In fact, Manchester City last lost a Champions League group stage match in September 2018 — winning 13 and drawing four since — so the omens are very good.
RB Leipzig will definitely come into this game as the underdog, and their rocky domestic form doesn't inspire much confidence, either. The German side have started the season poorly, winning one and losing three including a 1-4 defeat to Bayern Munich last week. Afterwards, manager Jesse Marsch claimed his side might not be ready for its next match — a quite extraordinary post-match comment.
Still, they do have quality in their side, including Portugal international Andre Silva up front, Spanish midfielder Dani Olmo, Hungarian defender Willi Orban and Swedish forward Emil Forsberg. All start here.
City have few injuries to worry about, meaning Pep Guardiola's main concern may have been who to leave out. In the end, he's found space for the fit again Kevin de Bruyne, the in-form Jack Grealish and the underused Riyad Mahrez, with Ferran Torres up front.
Here's how they line up:
Manchester City: Ederson, Cancelo, Dias, Ake, Zinchenko, De Bruyne, Rodri, Silva, Grealish, Torres, Mahrez.
RB Leipzig: Gulacsi, Klostermann, Orban, Mukiele, Angelino, Laimer, Adams, Olmo, Forsberg, Nkunku, A Silva
