Assan Ouedraogo is out and Maxime Esteve is doubtful | Projected lineup based on UEFA Matchday 4 team news; final XI pending. Donnarumma and Haaland are projected to start. Antoine Semenyo is out | Away |

| Uncertainty Review | Esteve's availability could affect the final defensive selection | The final attacking selection around Haaland remains pending | Final defensive and attacking selections remain the main uncertainty. |
Key Decision Factors
Leipzig have recovered with two domestic wins, but their heavier defeats against Bayern Munich and Real Madrid show a clear drop when the opponent level rises. Manchester City have lost their last two league matches, yet their Champions League baseline is stronger, with two wins from three and a 5-1 victory over AEK Athens in the latest European round. UEFA's projected lineups leave City with Donnarumma and Haaland available, while Leipzig are without Assan Ouedraogo and still have uncertainty around Maxime Esteve. These are projected rather than confirmed lineups, so a late change in Leipzig's defence or City's attacking selection could narrow the expected away scoring edge.
