Manchester City aim to qualify for the knockout stages of the UCL as they host Swiss side Young Boys at the Etihad Stadium.
Manchester City have once again shown signs of dominance in their defense of the European crown. Pep Guardiola's men have been absolutely magical winning all their opening games in a easy Group G for the reigning UCL Champions. With Erling Haaland missing out for the treble winners, Manchester City will be tested by a resilient Young Boys outfit.
Despite losing the reverse fixture 3-1, Young Boys presented a massive challenge against Guardiola's men. After Manuel Akanji's opening goal in his home country, Meschak Elia restored disparity at the Wankdorf Stadium before Haaland's brace that snatched three points from the Swiss side. With Young Boys travelling to the Etihad another massive challenge lies in front of them but they'll be looking to replicate their heroics and look to hold on against a goal hungry Manchester City.

Team news & squads
Man City team news
After a massive injury to Kevin De Bruyne during the initial days of the season that ruled the Belgium out for a major chunk of the campaign, Pep Guardiola faces another injury headache with Norwegian goal-machine Erling Haaland touted to miss the clash against Young Boys.
The former Dortmund striker was forced off the pitch during City's clash against Bournemouth and Guardiola will not want to risk playing him in a jam-packed campaign. Haaland's absence could open the doors for Argentine World Cup winner Julian Alvarez who's the club second-highest goal scorer.
Jeremy Doku bagged himself a goal and four assists during City's routing of the Cherries in the Premier League and the Belgian is tipped to start alongside the Three Lions duo of Jack Grealish and Phil Foden.
Spanish prodigy Sergio Gomez picked up an injury during training and will be unavailable for selection.
Manchester City Predicted XI: Ederson; Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol; Walker, Rodri, Lewis, Grealish; Doku, Alvarez, Foden

|---|---|
| Goalkeepers: | Ederson, Ortega, Carson |
