Manchester City<\/a> have moved into the top eight of the Champions League as they prepare to host Borussia Dortmund at the Etihad on Wednesday November 5.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Citizens have beaten Napoli and Villarreal already and were arguably unlucky to take just a point from their clash against Monaco, which ended 2-2 after a controversial late penalty for their opponents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pep Guardiola\u2019s side also bounced back from their Premier League loss to Aston Villa by securing a pair of 3-1 wins over Swansea and Bournemouth last week. The first of which was in the EFL Cup and the latter which saw them retain second spot in the league.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Borussia Dortmund are also on seven points in the Champions League after a series of high-scoring affairs. They opened their campaign with a 4-4 draw with Juventus before beating Athletic Bilbao 4-1 and seeing off Copenhagen 4-2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These two teams met in both the 2021\/22 and 2022\/23 editions of the Champions League, with City winning three by a scoreline of 2-1, although their most recent head-to-head was a goalless draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Man City predicted lineup vs Borussia Dortmund<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Man City Predicted XI<\/strong> (4-1-4-1<\/em>): Donnarumma; Nunes, Stones, Dias, Ait-Nouri; Gonzalez; Bobb, Reijnders, Foden, Doku; Haaland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Man City team news vs Borussia Dortmund<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

City have seen the majority of their injury complaints shaken off, with Rodri featuring from the bench against Bournemouth on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mateo Kovacic now remains their only absentee as he recovers from an ankle injury which is expected to see him miss the next few months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guardiola may also be concerned by the fact that if midfielder Bernardo Silva receives another yellow card he will have to serve a suspension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Erling Haaland was brought off after scoring twice against the Cherries at the weekend and is likely to lead the line once more against his former team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a huge game against Liverpool looming at the weekend, Guardiola may choose to be cautious by bringing off his star player early.<\/p>\n\n\n
