Manchester City travel to the Red Bull Arena to face RB Leipzig in a pivotal UEFA Champions League clash. Leipzig boast an impeccable home defensive record this season, having won all five home games without conceding. City arrive amid a domestic slump, with just two wins in their last six matches, though their away defensive form remains solid with three clean sheets in four.
