There is nothing to split Manchester City and RB Leipzig ahead of the second leg of their Champions League last-16 clash at the Etihad Stadium.

The Premier League title hopefuls earned a 1-1 draw in Germany three weeks ago, when Riyad Mahrez opened the scoring before Josko Gvardiol headed home an equaliser after the break.

City have won 21 of their last 23 Champions League home games, drawing the other two, and they head into this game on a four-match winning run.

Leipzig warmed up for their trip to England with a 3-0 win over Borussia Monchengladbach that left them third in the Bundesliga standings, seven points off top.

Kick-off is at 8pm GMT.

Team news

With Phil Foden shaking off an ankle problem, Pep Guardiola has a fully-fit City squad to choose from.

Leipzig are missing star striker Christopher Nkunku through injury, along with Peter Gulacsi, Xaver Schlager and Abdou Diallo.

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:

ExpressVPN
