Manchester City vs Bayern Munich live stream: match preview

With the Premier League title looking destined for north London this season, Man City will have their sights set on Champions League glory – but they'll have to get past Bayern Munich first.

Pep Guardiola's side come into this game in irresistible form, with eight straight wins in all competitions and only one defeat since mid-January. Erling Haaland announced his return to the starting line-up against Southampton on Saturday with a brace, the second of which was a spectacular overhead kick, but Bayern will put up a much tougher fight than the team that's rooted to the bottom of the Premier League. City have won their last 10 home games against German opposition, though, so they will have cause to be confident of victory at the Etihad tonight. 

Haaland leads the line again tonight, in a team that has just one change from the win against Saints on Saturday. Bernardo Silva comes in for Riyad Mahrez, who drops to the bench.

Bayern Munich had only lost three games all season when they replaced Julian Nagelsmann with Thomas Tuchel as head coach, and it's fair to say results have been mixed since he took over. A 4-2 win over title rivals Borussia Dortmund got the former Chelsea boss off to the best possible start, but his side were then knocked out of the DFB Pokal by Freiburg, before getting things back on track with a league win over the same opponents on Saturday. Tuchel has almost certainly been brought in for his Champions League-winning experience, so securing a first-leg advantage will be key for the Bundesliga leaders. 

There are three changes to the Bayern side tonight. Joao Cancelo drops to the bench against his parent club alongside Mané and Muller, with Upamecano, Goretzka and Coman replacing them.

Manchester City vs Bayern Munich kicks off at 8pm BST / 3pm EDT today, Tuesday 11th April, at the Etihad Stadium, Manchester. Make sure you know how to watch a Manchester City vs Bayern Munich live stream.
