Manchester City vs. Bayer Leverkusen preview: Prediction, date, kick-off times, venue, how to watch Champions League match on DAZN
Watch the Champions League on DAZN - US, CA & NZ
The Champions League returns following November's international break, and the competition heads into the second half of the opening league phase, with matchday five offering some mouth-watering clashes.
One of which comes from Manchester, as City and their goalscoring machine welcome Bayer Leverkusen to the Etihad Stadium.
After some early-season stumbles, Pep Guardiola's men looked to be finding their groove, but come into the game off another away day defeat in the Premier League, however, they seemed to have found some form in Europe.
City made light work of Borussia Dortmund last time out with Phil Foden and Erling Haaland starring in a 4-1 win that sees the Premier League side just behind the top three in the table.
It's German opposition once again for the Premier League side, with a Leverkusen side already on their second manager of the campaign and who have already been embarrassed in this season's competition when PSG hit them for seven last month.

Manchester City vs. Bayer Leverkusen - the key men
Erling Haaland - Manchester City
Who else? Of his 19 goals already this season, yes, it's only November, five of them have come in his first four Champions League games of the campaign.
Stopping Haaland is almost an impossible task and he'll fancy adding to his total against a team who have already shipped double figures in the league phase.
Patrik Schick - Bayer Leverkusen
One of the few big names that has remained at Leverkusen following their league and cup double two seasons ago, Schick is known for being a right handful up front.
The Czech striker already has seven goals to his name this season and if the German side can get at City then they'll want their star forward to be the man on the end of things.
Manchester City vs. Bayer Leverkusen prediction
With the form City and Haaland are in and having home advantage, it doesn't bode well for the Germans. More goals for The Eithad's number nine, and a resounding victory for Pep Guardiola.
Prediction: Manchester City 3-0 Bayer Leverkusen
