Gladbach test the latest for Man City on the road to European glory

A win at Borussia Monchengladbach on Wednesday night will carry Manchester City through to the knockout phase of the Champions League with a game to spare.

Gone, it would seem, are the days when City struggled to make it out of the group stages at all. A scintillating 3-1 Group C win over Barcelona at the Etihad last time out even suggests Pep Guardiola's side may be marked down as potential winners of the tournament in a season where they still appear to be finding their feet.

A peculiar campaign that started with 10 straight wins under the Catalan and turned distinctly stodgy when City failed to win any of the six that followed, now sees them four unbeaten again.
