THE LOWDOWN
MAN CITY
Having won all four of their Group G encounters to date, Man City have already qualified for the round of 16, but can secure top spot if they avoid defeat here, which seems likely given that they are unbeaten in their last 17 games in the competition.
Last season's treble winners come into this off the back of successive draws in the Premier League, with the weekend seeing them give up top spot in the Premier League to Arsenal.
RB LEIPZIG
Second-placed RB Leipzig cannot be caught by either Crvena zvezda or Young Boys so they too have qualified for the knockout stages, although they do have a slim chance of taking top spot in the group.
The reverse fixture between the two teams on Matchday 2 was a fairly competitive encounter with Man City leaving it late to secure the win, and that will give Leipzig some belief that they can cause an upset here.
THE TEAM NEWS
MAN CITY
Pep Guardiola may be tempted to rest one or two players but there won't be wholesale changes given the fact they can be caught by Leipzig.
John Stones, Mateo Kovacic and Matheus Nunes are doubts while Kevin De Bruyne who won't feature due to injury.
PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Ederson; Walker, Rúben Dias, Akanji, Gvardiol; Rodri, Lewis; Foden, Bernardo, Grealish; Alvarez
UNAVAILABLE: De Bruyne (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Stones (Injured), Kovačić (Injured), Matheus Nunes (Injured)
RB LEIPZIG
Marco Rose is likely to keep faith with his 4-2-2-2 set-up, with forwards Lois Openda and Yussuf Poulsen supported by Xavi Simons and Emil Forsberg.
Dani Olmo, El Chadaille Bitshiabu, Willi Orban and Timo Werner will not make the trip to Manchester.
PREDICTED XI (4-2-2-2): Blaswich; Henrichs, Simakan, Klostermann, Raum; Seiwald, Schlager; Forsberg, Simons; Openda, Poulsen
UNAVAILABLE: Olmo (Injured), Bitshiabu (Injured), Orbán (Injured), Werner (Injured)

THE KEY STATS
THE PREDICTION
There have been some high-scoring meetings between these two sides in recent years, and this could be no different given that both sides have already qualified for the next stage of the Champions League. Given that knowledge, both sides could play with freedom here, leading to an entertaining contest that contains over 2.5 goals. Over 3.5 goals could even be the market to go for, in order to increase returns.
TIP: OVER 3.5 GOALS
