Haaland and Akanji to start — Man City predicted line up vs Borussia Dortmund

Erling Haaland and Manuel Akanji could both start against their former side on Wednesday when Manchester City take on Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League.

City will have had eight days rest when they take to the field against Dortmund, after their blockbuster clash with Tottenham at the weekend was postponed following the death of the Queen. It will be Pep Guardiola's side's second group game of the campaign following the 4-0 win over Sevilla last time out and a victory over the German outfit would stand them in great stead for qualification ahead of a doubleheader with FC Copenhagen.

Haaland and Akanji could be set for swift reunions with Dortmund after swapping Signal Iduna Park for the Etihad this summer. Akanji came into the side after just one training session and put in a really solid display against Sevilla, which may well see him keep his spot ahead of Nathan Ake.
