Man City host Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday in a pivotal Champions League group stage encounter.
Pep Guardiola’s side are currently in a strong position. They sit level on seven points with their German opponents. Furthermore, City are unbeaten in their last 10 games against Dortmund across all competitions. The hosts will certainly be confident of securing a result at the Etihad Stadium.
Impressively, they have not lost a home match in the Champions League group phase since 2018. In addition, Guardiola will be aiming to extend his personal unbeaten streak against Dortmund, which dates back to 2014.
Man City team news
Pep Guardiola has received a significant boost ahead of the Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund, with his squad at near-full strength. Both 2024 Ballon d’Or winner Rodri and striker Erling Haaland are fully available, having proved their fitness by featuring in the weekend’s victory over Bournemouth. The hosts have only one confirmed absentee: midfielder Mateo Kovačić, who continues his recovery from a long-term ankle injury. Guardiola will also be aware that Bernardo Silva is one yellow card away from a one-match suspension in the competition.
The match will inevitably center on Erling Haaland, who faces his former club. The Norwegian enjoyed a prolific spell at Dortmund, scoring 86 goals in 89 games. Haaland, who was substituted against Bournemouth before he could secure a hat-trick, will be eager to get on the scoresheet, having already scored the winning goal against his old team in a 2-1 City victory back in 2022.

Possible Manchester City starting XI: Donnarumma; Nunes, Stones, Dias, Ait-Nouri; Gonzalez; Silva, Rodri, Foden, Doku; Haaland
