Both Leipzig and Manchester City picked up wins in the first round of the Champions League group stage, with Leipzig defeating Young Boys Bern 3-1 away from home, while City beat Red Star Belgrade 3-1 at home. Clearly, this is a top-of-the-table battle.

On City’s side, they’ve won all seven of their six Premier League matches plus one Champions League match. However, the last two games because of the suspension of Spanish midfielder Rodriguez, De Bruyne and B Seat also due to injury high exemption, so they have been in the League Cup and Premier League game cold loss (League Cup away 0-1 Newcastle, Premier League away 1-2 Wolves), suffered a rare two consecutive defeats.

The two sides have met four times in history, and City have scored at least six goals against Leipzig twice at home, including the most recent meeting, the Champions League 1/8 final second round in March this year, a 7-0 bloodbath at home. However, City’s two visits to Leipzig did not take advantage of any advantage, with a record of only 1 draw and 1 loss without a win.

Injuries and suspensions. Leipzig will be without Werner, Olmer, Orban and Bishop due to injuries. Manchester City’s side of the lineup is relatively complete, Rodriguez just in the domestic ban, the Champions League will not be affected, B seat is expected to be able to come back from injury, De Bruyne still need to recuperate from injury, Stones is doubtful.
