Manchester City travel to Budapest tonight to take on Borussia Monchengladbach in the second leg of the teams’ Champions League last-16 tie.
The first leg, which also took place in the Puskas Arena in the Hungarian capital, saw City emerge 2-0 winners thanks to goals from Bernardo Silva and Gabriel Jesus.
Those ‘away’ goals do not change the fact that Gladbach will have to score twice to force extra-time here and keep their hopes of a spot in the quarter-finals alive.

The Bundesliga club may struggle to do that against Pep Guardiola’s in-form side, though, with City having responded well last week after rivals United ended their long winning run; the Premier League leaders thrashed Southampton 5-2 before seeing off Fulham 3-0 to give themselves a handy helping of momentum ahead of this evening’s meeting. Gladbach, meanwhile, have lost their last six fixtures across all competitions.
