Yet another exciting Champions League encounter is upon us as Manchester City take on Borussia Dortmund. Here we have how to Watch, team news, head-to-head, odds, a prediction and everything you need to know about it.
It's the Erling Haaland derby! Will the former Dortmund man come back to haunt his old club? If his recent records suggest anything, there is a highly likely chance he could certainly do so. The Norwegian has been a revelation since his arrival, not only impressing in the Premier League but also doing the business thus far in Europe - bagging two on his Cityzens Champions League debut.
Dortmund are no mugs in Europe though, they showed their class in the opener against FC Kopenhavn - emerging 3 - 0 winners thanks to goals from Raphael Guerreiro, Marco Reus and Jude Bellingham.
This is bound to be an exciting one, so let's dive into things. Here's everything you need to know about Manchester City vs Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League.

City certainly have some defensive injury woes heading into this fixture. Kyle Walker and John Stones are both doubtful after they missed last week's tie with Sevilla. Aymeric Laporte won't feature after nursing a long-term ligament injury.
Luckily, summer signing Manuel Akanji will be fit to face his old club.
Dortmund have a plethora of injuries in their roster, including a genuine crisis in the striker department with Donyell Malen, Karim Adeyemi and Sebastien Haller all out. They are also joined in the medical tent by Gregor Kobel, Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, Mahmoud Dahoud, Mateu Morey and Thorgan Hazard.
