Match preview

RB Leipzig host Manchester City in the Champions League on Wednesday, with both sides needing points for different reasons. Martín Demichelis's Leipzig have three points and sit 28th after a 1-0 home win over PSV Eindhoven and two 4-1 away defeats, at Como and Real Madrid. 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. They have lost their last two Premier League games, 2-1 at Aston Villa and 1-0 at home to Brighton, and are now three points behind leaders Arsenal.
