WHERE THE GAME WILL BE WON AND LOST

CENTRAL MIDFIELD

Leipzig pack the middle of the pitch and break with pace centrally, with Amadou Haidara integral to that. Rodri will need to remain vigilant to counter-attacks when City lose the ball.

ERLING HAALAND v JOSKO GVARDIOL

The Croatian defender earned high praise after the first leg, when he marshalled Haaland well. All of Europe’s top sides are monitoring his progress and this is another audition.

CITY’S LEFT SIDE

Guardiola has chopped and changed in this area, but whether he goes with a back four or a three, City cannot leave themselves exposed to the direct running of Hungarian Dominik Szoboszlai.
