Pep Guardiola’s squad heads into the showdown as the favorites, buoyed by their home form and attacking depth. The Spaniard, who has built a cohesive, high-pressing unit, will likely unleash a familiar array of stars in a bid to outpace Leipzig. Riyad Mahrez, Bernardo Silva, Kevin De Bruyne, Jack Grealish, and Phil Foden are all fit and ready to contribute, while Erling Haaland remains the focal point in front of goal — the tip of the spear for the team’s pressing and finishing prowess.

The Leipzig side, undaunted

RB Leipzig, under Marco Rose, travels with a clear game plan of countering City’s possession tempo. The squad features standout performers such as center-back Josko Gvardiol, midfielder Konrad Laimer, and dangerous attackers Dominik Szoboszlai, Emil Forsberg, Timo Werner, Yussuf Poulsen, André Silva, and the Spanish talent Dani Olmo. Injury concerns loom, with key players like Christopher Nkunku, Xaver Schlager, Abou Diallo, and captain Peter Gulasci unavailable or limited, yet Leipzig remain dangerous and capable of exploiting any lapse in City’s pressing game.
