The UEFA Champions League schedule has a number of important matches going on Tuesday and the one between Bayern Munich and Manchester City will be going down at Estadio Anoeta and the Group A match is one of ones that could change the leads on the table, as they are separated by three points.
Manchester City has been playing well in the Premier League and they are coming off of a draw against Southampton and a win over West Brom and they now comes in after winning over Viktoria Plzen in their last Champions League match. That game was good on both sides and it was tied 2-2 before Manchester City pulled it out. Sergio Agüero scored the first goal of the match and it was followed from City after a 1-1 score by Samir Nasri and then Álvaro Negredo and Edin Dzeko scored to give the team a 4-1 victory.
In the Group D standings on the table, City trails by three points heading into the crucial matchup and they have four wins this season in UCL play, while Bayern comes in undefeated with a clean sheet at 5-0 and they have no draws and have been very impressive. Paris Saint-Germain comes in leading as well and there are a number of exciting games going down on Wednesday, as Barcelona plays against Celtic, while AC Milan and Ajax Amsterdam are playing and some of the other matches includes Napoli and Arsenal.

Manchester City will rest key players against Champions League holders Bayern Munich on Tuesday with an eye on next weekend's meeting with Premier League leaders Arsenal, manager Manuel Pellegrini said on Monday.
City and Bayern have both qualified for the knockout stages from Group D, Bayern with a perfect 15 points from five games and City with 12, their only defeat coming in the home match against the German champions.
"Of course, if you ask me at this moment, the game against Arsenal next weekend is more important than the game against Bayern Munich," Pellegrini told reporters.
"From the moment we qualified for the next round, the Premier League became more important than Champions League.
"I will not change my tactics. Maybe because we are playing away, I do a different thing but, if I was to play that game again, I would do exactly the same," Pellegrini said of the 3-1 defeat by Bayern in October.
He confirmed that England goalkeeper Joe Hart, dropped after a poor game against Bayern and other high-profile errors, will start the match at the Allianz Arena ahead of Costel Pantilimon.
Pellegrini plans to rest other key players but did not name them.
"That does not mean there is a possibility that the players who play against Bayern Munich will not play against Arsenal," the Chilean added.
