RB Leipzig – Manchester City: TV channel and probable line-ups

The Germans of Leipzig receive Manchester City at the Red Bull Arena, Wednesday at 9 p.m., in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League. TV channel, probable compositions… Here is the information to know about the meeting.

The context of RB Leipzig – Manchester City

Having finished second in their group in the group stage, Leipzig inherited a complicated draw and will have to defeat City to qualify for the quarter-finals. However, the Bundesliga formation has some arguments to hope for a feat. Current fifth in the German championship, Marco Rose’s men have lost only one meeting in 2023 (in all competitions) thanks to a solid defense. The eastern German-based club have also recorded the return of their star striker, Christopher Nkunku. Before his injury at the start of the World Cup, the Blues striker was in great shape (12 goals scored in 14 starts).

In City, some doubts remain at the dawn of this round of 16. If the Sky Blues struck a big blow by going to win on the lawn of Arsenal (1-3), the performance delivered a few days later against Nottingham Forest (1-1) was much less convincing. Erling Haaland is notably much less effective than at the start of the season. The Norwegian has only scored one small goal in these last four appearances. This European evening will be an opportunity to relaunch the machine for the Cyborg.

The probable compositions of RB Leipzig – Manchester City

Pep Guardiola will have all these forces for this very important game except for John Stones. The defender is suffering from a hamstring injury. On the German side, Abdou Diallo and Dani Olmo are both unavailable, unlike Christopher Nkunku who returned to competition last weekend.
