Man City vs Bayern Munich Preview
Man City boss Pep Guardiola is coming up against his former club. He guided Bayern Munich to three UCL semi-finals but got no further.
His City team is in hot pursuit of Arsenal – hammering Southampton 4-1 away from home last Saturday.
That made it eight games unbeaten in the EPL – with one draw.
In prior recent fixtures, it has beaten RB Leipzig 7-0 in the UCL, Burnley by 6-0 in the FA Cup quarter-final and rivals Liverpool 4-1.
So, clearly, with Erling Haaland in superb goal-getting form, Man City will head into this match in a buoyant mood.

Bayern Munich fired coach Julian Naglesmann on March 24.
His replacement is fellow German Thomas Tuchel – who was in charge of Chelsea when it defeated Guardiola’s Man City side in the 2021 UCL final.
Since Tuchel took charge, Bayern Munich has scored a 4-2 win against Borussia Dortmund and, last weekend, a 1-0 win at home against Freiburg.
However, it was beaten 1-2 at home by Freiburg in the last of the German DFB-Pokal Cup.
Moreover, Bayern Munich won 1-0 away and then 2-0 at home when it overcame Paris Saint-Germain in the UCL last 16 – before Nagelsmann’s departure.
