The UEFA Champions League is back in action with another round of matches this week as RB Leipzig lock horns with Pep Guardiola's impressive Manchester City side in an important encounter at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday.
Manchester City vs RB Leipzig Preview
RB Leipzig are currently in fifth place in the Bundesliga standings and are yet to hit their stride so far this season. The away side slumped to a narrow 2-1 defeat at the hands of VfL Wolfsburg over the weekend and will need to work hard to bounce back in this match.
Manchester City, on the other hand, are in second place in the Premier League table at the moment and have been fairly impressive this season. The Cityzens were held to a 1-1 draw by Liverpool in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this week.
