Another of Tuesday's UEFA Champions League games kicking off at 15:00 EST is the one between Man City and Leverkusen, which will take place at Etihad Stadium, located in the UK city of Manchester. Following what was a disappointing league defeat at the weekend, the Citizens will be looking to bounce back.
In contrast, the visitors, who picked up a pleasing league win at the weekend, go in search of what would be a fourth straight win in all competitions, though even in such form, the Leverkusen boys will likely endure a tough evening. Away from home in big games, Kasper Hjulmand's men have struggled a little at the back, recently conceding three goals away to German giants Bayern. Can they do better against what will be a determined and hungry home attack?

Our Manchester City vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction
Man City's Jeremy Doku didn't score at the weekend, but he did recently score two goals for Belgium, while he went into the international break off the back of scoring against Liverpool, so we are talking about a man in form.
The speedster has looked dangerous in the UCL this season, while he absolutely has the tools to pick the lock against a Leverkusen team that has caved quite easily at the back when push comes to shove in big games.
Our Man City vs Leverkusen Pick: Jeremy Doku to Score.
