Pep Guardiola would look to move on from the defeat against Wolves which ended their winning run in the Premier League. Despite dropping three points at Molineux stadium, they retained their top spot in the table. Man City conceded an own goal through Ruben Dias and Alvarez equalised for the Cityzens in the second half. In the 66th minute, Hwang Hee-han netted a winner for the Wolves. Man City will take on Arsenal on their next Premier League so the fight for the top spot will be tough.

Man City started their title defence with a clinical win over Crvena Zvezda 3-1. This game might be tough for the Sky Blues as they are coming off two back-to-back defeats. For the first time, Guardiola is under pressure. However, his side beat the German club three times out of four times and they scored 15 goals which shows their strength. Man City takes advantage over Bundesliga clubs in UEFA competitions.

On the other hand, RB Leipzig have a chance to offer Man City a third consecutive loss to add their name along with Newcastle and Wolves. The German club played out a 2-2 draw with league rivals, Bayern. They are 5th in the table and are undefeated since losing their season opener in the top flight. Leipzig’s record against Man City is concerning as they were thrashed 7-0 when they last had a meeting with the Premier League club. They also faced a 6-1 defeat against City in UCL.
