Despite dominating most of the first leg, Pep Guardiola conceded an equalizer in Germany last month and is now forced to retire at the Etihad Stadium.

While City remain in their hunt for a treble this season, few would argue their quality has slipped slightly. Of course they remain better than most other teams but Guardiola’s side have an air of fragility this season.

So Leipzig will be confident of landing a shock. City, after all, have a turbulent history in this particular competition and have often found interesting new ways to eliminate.
