Manchester City vs Borussia Monchengladbach Prediction

After a slow start to their season, Manchester City now sit at the top of the Premier League table. They are 17 points ahead of second-placed Manchester United, who have two games in hand. Pep Guardiola's side have been in fine form recently and are regarded by many as one of the favourites to win the Champions League this season.

Borussia Monchengladbach, on the other hand, are struggling. Manager Marco Rose will join Borussia Dortmund in the summer, but there have been suggestions that he could be sacked by Gladbach after some poor recent results.
