Manchester City return to the Champions League enduring their first mini-crisis under Enzo Maresca.
Their last win in 90 minutes came in this competition three weeks ago when they defeated AEK Athens at home.
Since then, City have lost to bothAston VillaandBrighton, and won on penalties against the Seagulls in the Carabao Cup. Leipzig's fortunes have been in reverse order: since losing 4-1 at Real Madrid, they have won three games in domestic football by an aggregate score of 8-1 - their longest run of victories this season.

Leipzig's home form could not be in greater contrast to results on the road. They have won all five games at Red Bull Arena without conceding a goal, whereas away from home they have lost five of eight and let in 20 goals.
Leipzig have conceded 21 goals in six Champions League games against Manchester City – their highest tally against any opponent in European competition.
Key RB Leipzig player - David Raum
Full-back David Raum has created the most chances (nine) and made the most line-breaking passes (36) for RB Leipzig in the Champions League this season.
Across Europe's big five leagues last season, Raum was one of five defenders to reach 10 goal involvements (three goals, seven assists), while he was first for expected assists (12.4) and joint first for chances created (96, level with Federico Dimarco).
