"Starting with the hosts, suffering major frustration away at St. James' Park over the weekend as they eventually marked their return from November's international break with a 2-1 loss against Newcastle, Manchester City watched their Premier League title dreams take a real blow. However, heading into November's fortnight interval with a routine 3-0 romp at home against Liverpool, Pep Guardiola's men will be excited to make a return to the Etihad here."
"Last seen in European action storming their way to a dominant 4-1 victory against Borussia Dortmund, Man City have certainly gained a fearsome reputation for their dominance on home soil. Getting their Champions League adventure underway with a 2-0 win against Napoli on September 18th, Guardiola's superstar squad have won all of their previous seven consecutive showdowns at the Etihad by an aggregate score of 22-3."
Manchester City return to the Etihad aiming for a Champions League response after a 2-1 loss at Newcastle dented Premier League title hopes. City recorded a 3-0 home win over Liverpool earlier in November and delivered a 4-1 European victory over Borussia Dortmund, underscoring home dominance. City began Champions League play with a 2-0 win against Napoli and have won seven consecutive Etihad matches by an aggregate 22-3. Rodri remains sidelined with injury, Tijjani Reijnders could replace Nico Gonzalez in midfield, Erling Haaland leads the attack after five Champions League goals, and John Stones may start in defence.
