Both teams have already sealed their place in the knockout stage with a top-two finish in Group G, and now the reigning champions only need a point to confirm a seeding in the last-16 stage.

City ran out 3-1 winners in Germany when these two teams met earlier in the season and RB Leipzig will need to be the first team since August 2020 to win at the Etihad in Europe.

Man City vs RB Leipzig team news

John Stones will not start the game but could come on for his first minutes after injury, while Jack Grealish is trying to shake off the illness which ruled him out of the draw with Liverpool.

Pep Guardiola will likely pick a very similar team to the one on show against the Reds, with Mateo Kovacic and Matheus Nunes still sidelined. Josko Gvardiol will be hoping to start against his former club after a substitute role at the weekend.

Leipzig are missing Timo Werner and Dani Olmo, among others, for the game, but Emil Forsberg should start.

Man City vs RB Leipzig prediction

You can rarely - if ever - look past City in the Champions League, especially at home. It's been over three years since they lost in front of their own fans in Europe, and will have more than enough to keep that run going.
