Head-to-Head

In the UCL, the two sides have met on six occasions with each team winning three apiece. Their most recent meet was in the 2014/15 group stage of the tournament. The first leg saw Bayern win 1-0 at home while the return leg saw Man City win 3-2.

Across all competitions, Manchester City are on a six match winning streak while Bayern have won four and lost two of their last six fixtures.

Team news

Guardiola is set to be able to call upon a near-fully fit Man City squad with Phil Foden the only expected absentee as he recovers from having his appendix removed. As the Blues manager has not altered the lineup much in recent weeks, it is likely we will see a similar squad to that which beat Southampton on Saturday.

The back three are set to remain unchanged, meaning once again there is no place for Aymeric Laporte, while John Stones continues excelling in his role in midfield.

As for Bayern, Thomas Tuchel will be travelling to City without a fit natural centre forward, as Eric-Maxim Choupo-Moting is set to miss out with a knee problem. Serge Gnabry had been used in the central role for the recent win over Freiburg, while Thomas Muller has also played in that spot.

Sadio Mane’s recent struggles may see him replaced on the left-hand side by Kingsley Coman while Leon Goretzka is expected to return after being rested against Freiburg.
