Man City vs RB Leipzig: Gundogan misses early chance as hosts aim for Champions League quarter-finals.

Date:

Tonight, Manchester City will be looking to secure their place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League as they host RB Leipzig at the Etihad. The tie is still wide open after a 1-1 draw in the round of 16 first leg last month, but City will be the favourites to progress.

Pep Guardiola is inching closer to winning his first European title with the Citizens, and a place in the final eight of the competition is at stake. The Champions League is the one trophy that has eluded Guardiola since coming to England, but a win against Leipzig would keep his hopes alive in what is a wide open tournament this year.

Leipzig, on the other hand, have struggled when playing away against English clubs, losing their last three matches and conceding an average of four goals per game in the process. This does not bode well for them as they face a formidable City side.

The starting lineups for both teams have been announced, with Ederson, Stones, Akanji, Dias, Ake, Rodri, Gundogan, De Bruyne, Silva, Grealish, and Haaland taking to the field for City. Meanwhile, Blaswich, Henrichs, Orban, Gvardiol, Raum, Haidara, Laimer, Forsberg, Szoboszlai, Kampl, and Werner will start for Leipzig.
