Manchester City will look to put their disappointing Premier League form behind them when they take on RB Leipzig tonight.
Enzo Maresca’s side have lost their last two games in the English top flight – to Aston Villa and Brighton – but have still put together a strong campaign in Europe.
City have beaten Porto and AEK Athens with their only setback coming against two-time defending champions Paris Saint-Germain at the Etihad.
Leipzig are back in the Champions League after a season without European football, but it has been a struggle. Their only win came against PSV Eindhoven, and they have also lost to Bayer Leverkusen and Real Madrid, leaving them 29th with three points. They haven’t scored more than once in any of their last four Champions League games.
City have dominated this fixture. They have won four of their six previous Champions League meetings with Leipzig, drawing one and losing one.
