How Man City should line up vs Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League

Manchester City can seal top spot in their Champions League group with a game to spare, if they can avoid defeat against Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday.

City know that a point will be enough to secure first place in Group G, as they will remain three points ahead of Dortmund with one game remaining, and with a superior head-to-head record that would decide placings if the sides finished level on points. Dortmund know they can join City in the last-16 with a win, or a draw if Copenhagen don't beat Sevilla. If those sides draw, Dortmund could even qualify with defeat against City.

Pep Guardiola will be without the suspended Sergio Gomez after his red card in Copenhagen, but could welcome back John Stones for a first start in a month after his hamstring problems. Aymeric Laporte looks to have shaken off a kick at the end of City's Premier League win over Brighton at the weekend.
