Commanding City return to winning ways

The champions returned to winning ways after a stellar performance at home to Sunderland, where- for the first time this season- Joe Hart was not beaten by the opposition.

Seven changes were made from the side that drew to Dortmund midweek. James Milner, Gareth Barry, Carlos Tevez,  Micah Richards, Mario Balotelli, Alexsandr Kolarov and Joleon Lescott were all brought into the side.

Match Review: City vs. Dortmund

Match Preview: City vs. Dortmund

After the performance away in London last week, City should be going into this game full of confidence against the German champions. A victory is an almost certain requirement if they have ambitions of qualifying for the second round of the Champions league.
