Man City predicted lineup vs RB Leipzig: Haaland is the key!

Man City defenders vs RB Leipzig

Kyle Walker (right-back)

Kyle Walker is surely one of the best right-backs in the world right now. So, when he is fit and ready to go, it is unlikely that Pep would choose anyone else in that position in an important game against Leipzig.

Ruben Dias (centre-back)

One of the best signings in recent history for Manchester City, Ruben Diaz has been fantastic. He is surely one of the best defenders right now. Thus, it is a no-brainer that Pep would trust him in the back when City play Leipzig.

Manuel Akanji (centre-back)

The Swiss defender is doing a great job for the Citizens since he joined them from Dortmund. He is strong and authoritative. His presence will be key for City when they take on the German side in the Champions League.

Nathan Ake (left-back)

Pep can go for Gomez as well however, he would likely choose Ake over him to give his side the defensive stability. Ake has done a decent job as a left-back and he is expected to continue in that position in this game too.
