Manchester City will be hoping to bounce back from successive defeats as they travel to face RB Leipzig in the Champions League group stages tonight.
City have lost back-to-back domestic games in the past week following what had been a perfect start to the season. The 2-1 defeat away to Wolves at the weekend was their first in the league this term, with their lead over Tottenham cut to just a single point at the top of the Premier League.
The Champions League provides a chance to respond, with key midfielder Rodri able to return to the starting line-up as he serves a domestic suspension. City face German outfit RB Leipzig, who have become a familiar opponent for Pep Guardiola’s side in recent years.
