Since sharing the spoils against Red Bulls last month, Man City have gone on a four-game winning streak across all competitions. Last time out , Pep Guardiola’s side secured all three points against the Eagles at Selhurst Park, courtesy of Erling Haaland’s penalty kick 12 minutes from time. It was Pep Guardiola’s side’s 19th win of the season in 27 league-games, taking their points tally to 61, five adrift of leaders Arsenal. Meanwhile Cityzens have a slice of history on the line this week, as they could equal Arsenal’s 14-year record for the longest unbeaten home record by an English team. Man City have not tasted defeat in 23 home games in Europe’s top tier club tournament, while winning 21 of them.Â
Leipzig, on the other hand, had suffered a 6-3 defeat in their last visit to the Etihad, last season, despite the fact that Chroistopher Nkunku scored a hat-trick. Nevertheless, Marco Rose’s side gave a good account of themselves in the first leg in Germany and will be looking to cause an upset on Tuesday. Leipzig are heading into the match on the back of a dominant win over Moenchengladbach in the German top flight, thanks to second half efforts from Timo Werner, Emil Forsberg and Gvardiol. The Red Bulls are currently occupying third spot in the Bundesliga standings, having pocketed 45 points from 24 games, seven adrift of leaders Bayern Munich.Â
