Pep Guardiola will have to choose who to drop to accomodate the Belgian with Grealish and Foden both performing excellently over recent games. Otherwise City should have no other selection issues as they boast a fully fit squad.

As for Leipzig, Nkunku is expected to miss tonight's fixture with a hamstring injury. He joins Xaver Schlager, Peter Gulacsi and Abdou Diallo on the treatment table.

Werner, Konrad Laimer, Dominik Szoboszlai and Lukas Klostermann were all named in the squad for Leipzig's defeat to Dortmund at the weekend despite each feeling poorly. They also may feature tonight.
