"Pep Guardiola's side have navigated a challenging European start with typical control, taking seven points from fixtures against Napoli, Monaco and Villarreal. City's haul of six goals is modest compared with others near the top, but their defensive organisation has been among the best in the competition. Domestic results have also steadied after a brief stumble against Aston Villa, with successive 3-1 wins over Swansea City and Bournemouth."
"Dortmund meanwhile, have been one of the most entertaining sides to watch in this season's Champions League. Niko Kovac's team have scored four times in each of their three games so far, beginning with a chaotic 4-4 draw against Juventus before comfortable wins over Athletic Bilbao and Copenhagen. That run represents the first time in their history that Dortmund have netted four goals in three consecutive European matches."
"Erling Haaland faces his former club, having scored prolifically for Dortmund before his move to England. The Premier League champions have won their last 11 home games against German opposition and have never lost to BVB on their own ground. They have scored in all three of their previous visits to the Etihad, though each of the last two ended in 2-1 defeats."
Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund both sit on seven points from three Champions League matches, with Dortmund ahead on goal difference. City have navigated a challenging European start with control, taking points against Napoli, Monaco and Villarreal while scoring six goals and displaying strong defensive organisation. Domestic form has stabilised with 3-1 wins over Swansea City and Bournemouth. Dortmund have been high-scoring in Europe, netting four goals in each of their three matches, including a 4-4 draw with Juventus and wins over Athletic Bilbao and Copenhagen. Team news: Mateo Kovacic is sidelined; Rodri and Haaland recovered from minor issues; Bernardo Silva is one booking away from suspension.
