Manchester City are once again the favourites to win the Champions League, but they have a tricky path to the final.

Even if they get past Bayern Munich in the last eight, Real Madrid will probably be waiting in the semis.

Bayern are now managed by Thomas Tuchel, who memorably led Chelsea to Champions League glory with a 1-0 victory over City in the 2021 final.

Kick-off is at 8pm BST.

Team news

Phil Foden is the only Manchester City player who will miss the first leg as he continues his recovery from appendicitis. 

Bayern Munich will be without Eric-Maxim Choupo-Moting, so Serge Gnabry is set to start up top. 

Form

City have been playing some scintillating football of late and they head into this fixture on the back of an eight-game winning streak.

Bayern have won two of their three games under Tuchel, including a 4-2 triumph over Borussia Dortmund.

Referee

Jesus Gil Manzano of Spain is the referee for Manchester City vs Bayern Munich.

Stadium

Manchester City vs Bayern Munich will be played at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester.

VPN guide

Use a VPN to watch Champions League football from outside your country

If you’re out of the country for a Champions League fixture, then you won't be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.

A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.

There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the Champions League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:
