Is Leipzig vs Manchester City on TV? Kick-off time, channel and how to watch Champions League fixture

Action Images via Reuters

After opening their Champions League campaigns with victory, RB Leipzig and Manchester City meet in Group G.

The German side secured a significant away win at Young Boys in their opening group fixture, while last year’s Champions League winners got the defence of their crown up and running with a 3-1 victory against Red Star Belgrade.

These two clubs met at the round of 16 stage of last season’s competition, with Leipzig holding the eventual champions at home but suffering a 7-0 thrashing at the Etihad Stadium.

They may spy a Manchester City side in a vulnerable state, though, with injury problems mounting for Pep Guardiola and his team fresh from a surprise league slip-up against Wolves.
