"After Erling Haaland's run of four goals in three club matches ended on Saturday, the Manchester City striker is aiming to score in six successive appearances in the Champions League proper for the second time in his career when Bayer Leverkusen visit the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday. City lost 2-1 at Newcastle to end the weekend seven points behind Premier League leaders Arsenal, but victory over Die Werkself would send them top of the Champions League table until at least Wednesday."
""We'll take the game in our stride," said Leverkusen managing director Simon Rolfes (via Kicker), adding that a win against City or Newcastle, who visit the BayArena on Matchday 5 on December 10, "would be important". "Then we'd be in a good position going into the new year. But there's no point in speculating too much. The important thing is that we keep improving. That's the crucial thing this season: that we keep improving and diligently collect points.""
Erling Haaland looks to resume a scoring run in the Champions League as Bayer Leverkusen visit Manchester City at the Etihad. City fell 2-1 at Newcastle and sit seven points behind Premier League leaders Arsenal, but a win would move them top of their Champions League group temporarily. City are narrowly clear of the knockout play-off places with four group matches remaining. Leverkusen sit above elimination spots and are aiming to build on recent domestic and European results. Leverkusen management stresses steady improvement and point collection, while several players face long-term absences through injury.
