Manchester City will aim to return to winning ways when they take on RB Leipzig in Wednesday night's Champions League showdown at the Red Bull Arena.
City had to work hard for a 3-2 win the last time these two sides met, coming from behind through goals from Julian Alvarez, Phil Foden and Erling Braut Haaland.
They are unbeaten across their last four Champions League meetings with Leipzig (W3, D1).
That record should give Enzo Maresca's side the confidence to go for the jugular, especially after their disappointing 1-0 defeat against Brighton & Hove Albion last weekend.
City have taken six points from their opening three league phase games and ae 10th in the Champions League table.
However, their record of just eight wins from their last 20 Champions League games (D2, L10) could add a spring in Leipzig's step as they look to slay one of Europe's giants.
Gianluigi Donnarumma has kept just four clean sheets in 13 games across all competitions.
He has gone five consecutive games without a clean sheet, but a solid backline should help his cause against Leipzig.
Ruben Dias and Marc Guehi will partner each other at centre-back with Nico O'Reilly and Matheus Nunes on either side of the back four.
Enzo Fernandez will likely replace Ayyoub Bouaddi in midfield. His performances have split the City fan base, with a significant proportion questioning his price tag and contribution.
Since reuniting with Maresca, the World Cup winner has returned just a goal and an assist in 11 games across all competitions.
He'll be keen to justify his £125 million price tag alongside Elliot Anderson, who has adapted more quickly to life at City.
Foden was in remarkable goalscoring form in the last Champions League outing, firing City to an outstanding 5-1 win over AEK Athens with a hat-trick and an assist.
He'll back himself to score in back-to-back Champions League games, with Rayan Cherki and Jeremy Doku also looking to wreak havoc on the Leipzig backline.
Star striker Haaland will be keen to add to his 13-goal tally.
Donnarumma; Nunes, Dias, Guehi, O'Reilly; Anderson, Fernandez; Foden, Cherki, Doku; Haaland.
