Manchester City take on Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League tonight, as they look to secure their place as Group G winners.
Pep Guardiola's side continued their chase down of Arsenal back in the Premier League at the weekend, with the gap between first and second cut down to just two points.
Manchester City's last outing saw them move past a challenging Brighton outfit at the Etihad Stadium, as a second-half strike from Kevin De Bruyne accompanied an Erling Haaland brace.

Kalvin Phillips also began working on the field once again, albeit individually, after undergoing shoulder surgery on a persistent problem in recent weeks.
