Manchester City-Bayern Munich Statistical Preview

Manchester City players train ahead of their tie against Bayern Munich.

This game could barely be set up in more contrasting ways for these two teams, with City needing nothing less than a win and Bayern already guaranteed top spot in the group.

City were given a footballing lesson last time Bayern came to the Etihad, and with two central midfielders absent for the hosts, the visitors are likely to control proceedings once again.

Even with so many players out, Bayern beat Hoffenheim 4-0 at the weekend, while City were highly unconvincing at home to Swansea. The German side will be favourites and could put City out of their misery.
