Champions League: Away form haunts City in Leipzig test

Agency News : Manchester

Pep Guardiola’s last visit to the Red Bull Arena to play RB Leipzig wasn’t a comfortable one as Manchester City had lost that Champions League group stage game last season 1-2. Guardiola and City will be more alert this time as they travel to Germany to take on the same opponents in their first knockout match of this edition of the Champions League on Wednesday.

Haaland has averaged a goal every 60 minutes across his four appearances versus Leipzig. Also key for City will be Jack Grealish. The England winger has become Guardiola’s g o - t o g u y. Grealish has started in City’s last seven games in the Premier League and the last nine games in all competitions.
