The UEFA Champions League is back in action with another round of matches this week as Bayern Munich take on Pep Guardiola's Manchester City side in an important clash at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday.
Bayern Munich vs Manchester City Preview
Manchester City are currently in second place in the Premier League standings and have been in impressive form so far this season. The Cityzens eased past Leicester City by a 3-1 scoreline in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this week.
Bayern Munich, on the other hand, are at the top of the Bundesliga table at the moment but have been inconsistent this year. The home side played out a disappointing 1-1 draw against TSG Hoffenheim over the weekend and will need to take it up a notch to trouble the English side in this fixture.
