Having responded strongly to an opening setback in Group F and sealed qualification with a game to spare, Manchester City are looking to wrap up first place in the section as they conclude their campaign at home against Hoffenheim, the visitors now setting their sights on the UEFA Europa League as their first UEFA Champions League group campaign draws to a close. • City booked their place in the round of 16 with a 2-2 draw at Lyon last time out, and hold a three-point lead over the French club at the top of the standings. The English champions will therefore clinch first place if they avoid defeat, or if Lyon do not win at Shakhtar Donetsk. • Hoffenheim are on three points – all from draws – two behind third-placed Shakhtar. Out of contention for a top-two finish, they must win and hope Shakhtar lose in order to earn a UEFA Europa League place. • The English side came from behind to win in Germany on matchday two in what was Hoffenheim's first home group game in the UEFA Champions League. Ishak Belfodil gave the hosts a dream start with a first-minute goal, but Sergio Agüero levelled seven minutes later before David Silva struck an 87th-minute winner. Form guide Manchester City • City opened with an unexpected 2-1 loss at home to Lyon – their third successive European defeat in Manchester, all by a 2-1 scoreline – but bounced back with the win at Hoffenheim. Shakhtar were beaten 3-0 away and 6-0 at home – the Manchester club's biggest win in UEFA club competition – before progress was assured with the draw in Lyon. • City have won only four of their last ten European matches, home and away – losing five. • Josep Guardiola's side finished 19 points clear in the English Premier League last season, picking up a record 100 points – although there was frustration as their European campaign ended against familiar opponents, domestic rivals Liverpool running out 5-1 aggregate winners in the quarter-final. • City won all three home games in last season's group stage. They had won seven of their previous eight home European matches, including four in a row, before losing to Basel in the round of 16 second leg; they then went down to Liverpool in the quarter-finals and Lyon on matchday one. • City's best performance was reaching the 2015/16 semi-finals; this is their eighth consecutive appearance in the group stage and sixth successive qualification for the knockout phase. • The Citizens have won six of their nine home games against German clubs (D2 L1), scoring 11 goals in their last three such matches – all victories. Hoffenheim • After drawing 2-2 at Shakhtar on their group debut and losing 2-1 at home to City, Hoffenheim then drew home (3-3) and away (2-2) against Lyon, scoring a late equaliser in both games. They were undone by an added-time Shakhtar goal on matchday five, however, losing 3-2 to end their hopes of progress. • Third in last season's Bundesliga – their highest ever finish – Hoffenheim made their European bow against eventual runners-up Liverpool in last season's UEFA Champions League play-offs (1-2 home, 2-4 away). That was their first and only experience of English opposition before matchday two. • They went on to pick up five points in the UEFA Europa League group stage, finishing fourth in a section that also included Braga, Ludogorets and İstanbul Başakşehir. • Die Kraichgauer have won only one of their 13 European matches, home and away. Both they and their opponents have scored at least once in all of those games. Having lost the first four, the matchday five loss against Shakhtar was only the third time they have been beaten in the last nine. • Hoffenheim have yet to win away from home in Europe (D3 L3). • Hoffenheim are the 13th German club to feature in the UEFA Champions League – a joint competition record with Spain. They are one of three newcomers to the UEFA Champions League group stage this season, alongside Crvena zvezda and Young Boys. All three will exit the competition after matchday six. • Aged 31 years 58 days, Julian Nagelsmann became the youngest coach in UEFA Champions League history on matchday one, replacing Viktor Goncharenko, who was 31 years 99 days when BATE took on Real Madrid on matchday one in 2008/09.

9 Manchester City FC - TSG 1899 Hoffenheim Wednesday 12 December 2018 - 21.00CET (20.00 local time) Match press kit City of Manchester Stadium, Manchester Head coach Josep Guardiola Date of birth: 18 January 1971 Nationality: Spanish Playing career: Barcelona, Brescia (twice), Roma, Al-Ahly Club, Dorados de Sinola Coaching career: Barcelona B, Barcelona, Bayern München, Manchester City • Known as 'Pep', he came up through Barcelona's youth ranks to win six Spanish Liga titles, one European Champion Clubs' Cup, a UEFA Cup Winners' Cup and two Copa del Rey trophies from 1990 to 2001. Also had spells with Brescia, Roma, al-Ahly in Doha and Mexico's Dorados de Sinola before ending his playing career in 2006. Won 47 caps and Olympic footballing gold with Spain in 1992, but missed the 1998 and 2002 FIFA World Cups through injury. • Having coached Barcelona's B team, he took charge of the senior side in 2008 and won the UEFA Champions League, Spanish Liga and Copa del Rey in his first season. That was just the beginning of a glorious four-season spell which yielded 14 trophies. In his second campaign, Guardiola steered Barcelona to a second Liga title as well as the Spanish and UEFA Super Cups and the FIFA Club World Cup. Even more sucess followed in 2010/11 as Barcelona completed a hat-trick of Spanish titles and, for the second time under Guardiola, got the better of Manchester United in the UEFA Champions League final.
• In his final season, 2011/12, Guardiola's team won the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup once more before he signed off his reign with a second Copa del Rey triumph. After a year's break, Guardiola took charge of Bayern in June 2013, replacing Jupp Heynckes. • Collected the UEFA Super Cup, FIFA Club World Cup, German Cup and, with a record seven games to spare, the Bundesliga title in his first season in Germany. Secured his second successive Bundesliga title the following season, and Bayern again dominated domestically in 2015/16, but all three of Guardiola's UEFA Champions League campaigns in Bavaria ended in the semi-finals. • Opted for a new challenge at Manchester City in summer 2016 and, though the first year in charge produced Guardiola's first trophy-less campaign as a coach, he and City delivered in style in 2017/18, racking up 100 points in winning the Premier League and adding the English League Cup. Julian Nagelsmann Date of birth: 23 July 1987 Nationality: German Playing career: 1860 München II, Augsburg II Coaching career: Augsburg (youth), 1860 München (youth), Hoffenheim (youth), Hoffenheim • Nagelsmann's playing career began at Issing before a move to Augsburg's youth academy. From 2002 he represented 1860 München for five seasons, starting off in the youth side before being promoted to the second team. • Injury prevented him from making a single appearance in 2006/07, so he returned to Augsburg, where he picked up a serious knee injury and was forced to retire in 2007 aged just 20 having never played a competitive first-team game. • Nagelsmann, who has a degree in sports and applied coaching, swiftly took up a post in Augsburg's youth coaching set-up under Thomas Tuchel before two years in charge of 1860's Under-17 side. • His association with Hoffenheim began in 2010 and he led the club's Under-19s to the league title in 2013/14, his first season. Succeeded Huub Stevens as first-team coach in February 2016, aged just 28 – the youngest coach in Bundesliga history – and guided the club away from the Bundesliga relegation zone by the end of that campaign. • Took Hoffenheim to a fourth-placed finish in 2016/17 although their subsequent UEFA Champions League adventure lasted only one tie, Liverpool eliminating them in the play-offs. Hoffenheim went on to finish bottom of their UEFA Europa League section but another strong Bundesliga season was rewarded with third place and a debut in the UEFA Champions League group stage. On 21 June 2018 it was announced that Nagelsmann would leave Hoffenheim at the end of 2018/19 to take over as coach of RB Leipzig.
