?Line-ups confirmed: City go all out against Leverkusen

Manchester City hosts Bayer Leverkusen today at the Etihad Stadium for Matchday 5 of the UEFA Champions League league phase, in a clash that pits English power against the Bundesliga sensation.

Manchester City (12 points) arrives in exceptional form, already qualified for the round of 16. Pep Guardiola’s team will look for a win to secure the top spot in the group, likely with some squad rotations. The Citizens have turned the Etihad into a fortress, with a dominant performance at home.

Bayer Leverkusen (8 points) is immersed in a battle for second place. Kasper Hjulmand’s team, which remains unbeaten this season in all competitions, will seek a positive result in Manchester to move closer to qualification and maintain their historic streak. Their main challenge will be containing City’s world-class attack.

An attractive and high-quality match is anticipated, although City is the favorite due to their Champions League pedigree and home advantage.
