Manchester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho is favoured to make the starting line up against Monchengladbach on Wednesday in a UEFA Champions League tie billed for Germany.
Based on Pep Guardiola’s rotational policy, the Nigerian will be joined by the likes of John Stones and Leroy Sane when the team files out tonight.
Meanwhile, City continues their three game mini-playawayathon as they clash against Borussia M’Gladbach.
The German side knew a victory in Borussia Park will secure them a place in the knockout rounds of the Champions League.
Having delivered a stunning win over Barcelona in their previous outing in the competition the and shaken off the effects of the international break during the tense encounter in South London the players will be keen to maintain their recent 100% winning record against the German side.
In their last three meetings City has scored 10 goals and conceded only 3 times they might be finding this fixture comes at the right time.
City can feel justifiably satisfied at the resilience they showed in securing the win over Palace which saw the surprise inclusion of The Forgotten Man, Yaya Toure, in the starting line-up.
Hence, a surprise inclusion of Yaya is on the cards and Guardiola would be keen to claim all three points in Germany today.
Borussia Monchengladbach has won only three of their 11 Bundesliga games this season and now sit 13th out of 18 in the table following their home loss to rivals Cologne on Saturday.
