Manchester City have been given a favourable fixture list surrounding their Champions League last-16 clash with RB Leipzig.
City were paired with the Germans after topping their Champions League group, and will travel to the Red Bull Arena on Wednesday February 22 for the first leg, before welcoming Leipzig to the Etihad on Tuesday March 14. With those fixtures confirmed, City can start to plan out their new year fixture list.
The away fixture follows a trip to Nottingham Forest and City then travel to Bournemouth after returning from Germany. The home game comes after a trip to Crystal Palace, and is followed by a home clash to West Ham. Had the two ties been scheduled a week before, the games before would have been slightly more difficult clashes with Aston Villa and Newcastle.
