Manchester City and Bayern Munich will resume their battle at the Allianz Arena as both teams look to advance into the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League. The Sky Blues took the lead in the first leg as they thrashed the Bavarians 3-0 at the Etihad Stadium last week, hence the German giants will be looking for a comeback in this subsequent encounter.
Manchester City Vs Borussia Dortmund: Talking Tactics
Pep Guardiola could set his team up in a 4-3-3 formation and is expected to make a few changes for this European contest. Hence, we can expect Bernardo Silva to play from the start while Guardiola names a back three, including Ruben Dias, Manuel Akanji and Nathan Ake, at the heart of City’s defence.
Thomas Tuchel could opt for a 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to name a strong first XI for this contest. Leroy Sane, Jamal Musiala, and Kingsley Coman could all feature in the attacking third, while Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting leads the charge against the opposition.

The Sky Blues will be without one absentee: Phil Foden, who is still recovering from appendix surgery but is returning by the end of this month. Guardiola had brought off Kevin De Bruyne, Rodri and Erling Haaland in the last league outing in anticipation of the second leg so that they will be fit and available for this contest.
Manchester City Predicted XI
Ederson; Akanji, Dias, Ake; Stones, Rodri; Silva, Gundogan, De Bruyne, Grealish; Haaland
Bayern Munich
As for Tuchel, he will remain without the services of Manuel Neuer, Lucas Hernandez, Paul Wanner and Gabriel Murusic, but Sadio Mane should return to the squad for the return leg. Moreover, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting has also recovered from a knee injury and will be available for selection for the European contest.
Bayern Munich Predicted XI
Sommer; Pavard, Upamecano, De Ligt, Davies; Kimmich, Goretzka; Sane, Musiala, Coman Choupo-Moting
