An Arsenal victory at Anfield on Sunday means City lost grip on their lead at the top of the Premier League table, with the champions now boasting a three-point advantage at the summit. City had been perfect through seven games, but are suddenly playing catch up as the November international break looms.
They’re now preparing for their seventh meeting with Leipzig since 2021, having claimed six points from their opening three league phase matches this season. City have beaten Porto and AEK Athens with comfort on either side of a thrilling defeat to Paris Saint-Germain.
As for Leipzig, they’ve been beaten by Como and Real Madrid on their travels, but did claim a victory on home soil against PSV Eindhoven thanks to Brajan Gruda’s strike. Wednesday’s hosts have won three on the bounce since losing in Madrid, and currently sit fourth in the Bundesliga.
