Man City v Dortmund live: Champions League team news and build-up as Haaland faces former club

And he now faces the side he left to join City in 2022, with Niko Kovac’s side sitting third in the Bundesliga – but already seven points behind Bayern Munich.

City have taken seven points from their opening three Champions League matches – the same as their opponents Dortmund.

Haaland scored a stunning acrobatic goal when City last faced Dortmund at the Etihad back in September 2022.

Welcome to The Independent’s coverage of tonight’s Champions League action as Manchester City host Borussia Dortmund at the Etihad Stadium.

It’s a personal one for Erling Haaland who lines up against his old club knowing that his superb form in front of goal is fuelling City’s strong results this season.

Another top performance this evening will leave Pep Guardiola’s side in a strong position to reach the next round of the competition.

We’ll have all the latest build-up and updates throughout the evening so stick around as we build up to kick off at 8pm.
