Team News
Manchester City
With Phil Foden managing to recover from a scare over a foot injury to line up at Selhurst Park, Guardiola is set to be working with a fully-fit squad for the second leg, meaning that 'Pep roulette' could very well come into play.

After being named on the bench for the win over Crystal Palace, Kevin De Bruyne certainly ought to force his way back into the first XI, while Riyad Mahrez and Kyle Walker - despite recent allegations of flashing against the latter - can also expect recalls.

Mahrez was afforded a complete rest at the weekend, and the Algerian's penchant for goals against Leipzig should no doubt work in his favour when it comes to Guardiola's selection - he has scored in all three of his Champions League fixtures against Die Roten Bullen so far.
Manchester City possible starting lineup:
Ederson; Walker, Akanji, Dias, Ake; De Bruyne, Rodri, Gundogan; Mahrez, Haaland, Grealish

RB Leipzig
As for Leipzig, Etihad hat-trick hero Nkunku has picked up a fresh hamstring problem since recovering from a long-term knee injury and is expected to miss out, joining Xaver Schlager, Peter Gulacsi and Abdou Diallo on the sidelines.

Nkunku and Schlager both sustained their issues in the loss to Dortmund on March 4, and the latter could miss the rest of the season due to an ankle ligament tear, and Rose's squad was also decimated by infection prior to the win over Gladbach.

Werner, Konrad Laimer, Dominik Szoboszlai and Lukas Klostermann were all reported to have been feeling under the weather, but all four of them made the squad on Saturday - the latter was only an unused substitute, though.
RB Leipzig possible starting lineup:
Blaswich; Henrichs, Orban, Gvardiol, Halstenberg; Laimer, Haidara; Szoboszlai, Forsberg, Werner; Silva
Prediction: Manchester City 2-1 RB Leipzig (Man City win 3-2 on aggregate)
