This is the only trophy City seem to have their eyes on after winning every other silverware possible.

Their start to the season once again shows dominance and hunger for success.

A 1-0 win over Leicester on the weekend gave them a hat-trick of wins in their last three matches as Silva’s second half goal made the difference.

Manchester City is in 5th place in the points table with 9 points from 4 matches.

On the other hand, Leipzig have begun their season disastrously with three losses from their first 4 matches in the Bundesliga.

They got beat 4-1 by defending champions, Bayern Munich at home on the weekend which puts pressure on Marsch to gain consistency and positive results.

Goals from Lewandowski, Musiala, Sané and Choupo-Moting ensured another damaging defeat on the Red Bull Arena based side.

Club Brugge and PSG make up the remainder of Group A, which ensures this to be a competitive tussle.

RB Leipzig possible 11:

Gulasci, Angelino, Simakan, Orban, Klostermann, Haidara, Laimer, Nkunku, Forsberg, Szoboszlai and Silva

Prediction: Man City 3-1 RB Leipzig

Leipzig has the quality to break the Man City defence and we expect them to do the same.

But Manchester City’s better start to the season makes them favourites for this clash owing to their consistency after losing the opening match of the season.

Leipzig’s season could not have started off in a worse manner and hence we do not see them troubling the hosts.

Players to watch out for: De Bruyne, Mahrez, Forsberg and Silva.
