Manchester City host Borussia Dortmund in their Champions League quarter-final first-leg tonight.

City are running away with the Premier League and still have their eyes set on a historic quadruple this season, but they have slipped up surprisingly before in Europe and take on a threatening Dortmund team.

While the Bundesliga side are struggling domestically, they were deserved winners against Sevilla in the last-16 and have Europe’s most in-demand player, 20-year-old superstar Erling Haaland, leading the line up front.

Host commentator

It’s been a frustrating campaign in the Bundesliga for Dormtund with the club fifth in the table, seven points off fourth. Saturday’s defeat by Eintracht Frankfurt was a big blow for their Champions League hopes. 

Meanwhile, City got an impressive 2-0 victory at Leicester. That 1-0 defeat by Manchester United is their only loss since November. 

Betfair – Manchester City vs Borussia Dortmund

Manchester City are one of a number of clubs interested in signing Erling Haaland. He has a chance to impress on the big stage against the club his father Alfe used to play for. Pep Guardiola spoke about the possibility of spending big in the transfer market as the club look for Sergio Augero’s replacement.

Some of the Dortmund players out on the pitch with England international Jude Bellingham among them. A big night for the 17-year-old, who starts in the centre of midfield.

Erling Haaland in the Dortmund starting XI, as expected. But Pep Guardiola opts to go without a recognised centre forward.
