Match preview
RB Leipzig host Manchester City in the Champions League on Wednesday, with both sides needing points for different reasons.

At home they have been flawless: five wins in all competitions, 19 goals scored and none conceded. They are fourth in the Bundesliga and won 2-0 at Schalke on Saturday. Enzo Maresca's City have six points and are 12th after winning 2-0 at Porto, losing 4-2 at home to Paris Saint-Germain and beating AEK Athens 5-1.
