Nowadays, Manchester City lives a great moment in the English Premier League at the top of the table with 16 points after five games. However, Roberto Mancini's side suffered a slight disapointment in the European Champioship when they drew against Napoli 1-1. Furthermore, Mancini must decide between Carlos Tevez or Edin Dzeko (without a goal in three games) in the attack alongside Sergio "Kun" Agüero. Mario Balotelli is suspended while Owen Hargreaves has not been registered for Champions League. On the same way, Adam Johnson has been sidelined due to injury.
At the Bavarian side, Holger Badstuber is struggling with flu, and Arjen Robben may not be ready to start after playing his first 10 minutes in more than a month in the 3-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen at the weekend. Daniel van Buyten could be an alternative to keep his place instead of the Dutchman while Frank Ribery's place in Heynckes' starting XI is not in any doubt.
