Team News
Borussia Dortmund
Man City
- With top spot already guaranteed in Group D, Jurgen Klopp could opt to rest some of his bigger names for the visit of Manchester City.
- That could mean any number of the stars could be on the bench, with the likes of Moritz Leitner and Ivan Perisic after a rare start.
- Felipe Santana could give Subotic a rest at the back.
- Yaya Toure is suspended after picking up his third yellow card in the Champions League this season against Real Madrid last time out, so Javi Garcia could play alongside Gareth Barry in defensive midfield.
- David Silva has been ruled out and he is a major doubt for this weekend's Manchester derby as well. Mario Balotelli could play on the left, with Scott Sinclair the only other real option, and an unlikely one at that.
- City have problems at full back where they will be without both Kolarov and Clichy on the left, while at right back, Richards remains out. Zabaleta will play on the left with Maicon on the right.
- Milner and Rodwell remain absent, while Aguero should return up front.
Dortmund = better team
dortmund are too good for City, we saw it last time. 2-0
B. Dortmund Bavarian?
City may also rest some players for the Manchester derby.
the english always need to taste the wrath of a good team..only then do they admit that the team is good.Eg. Dortmund this year
Hard to tell the line ups in this one but if the reverse fixture was anything to go by it should be a home win
B.Dortmund will win this one easily, M.City has good players, but they have no team to match the migth of the Bavarian team. B.Dortmund despite of not being as good in bundesligue as it would be expected, they are really good in Champions League. And palying @ home, with M.United going to City ground in a couple days, the'll have the advantage. 2-1 or 3-1 Dortmund wins.
Mancini says he has no interest to play Europa League because it plays on Thursday.
LOL if ur team loses it is because the coach doesn't prioritize winning the most prestigious club tournament in the world. interesting...
@legendaryloner Well said !! @oleksandros , Shame on you!! give due credit
We know Mancini doesn't prioritise European play, we know Dortmund is a well put together team. These two things favour a German victory, however City is a team of great individualists who can in a moment of magic turn things around. It's that unpredictability of City which keeps me on the fence about this game. I don't dare put any money, any whichever way.
