What is the form of Manchester City as compared to Hoffenheim?

Manchester City comes into Wednesday's fixture on the back of a 2-0 defeat to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. The Citizens, as a result, ended a 22-game unbeaten run in the Premier League which stretches as far back as April 2018. Prior to Sunday's defeat, Pep Guardiola's men had won nine and drawn just one of the last 10 fixtures across all competitions.

Hoffeinhem, having finished club-record third in the Bundesliga last season, has failed to make a mark in its debut Champions League campaign. Julian Nagelsmann's men are on the verge of elimination from the European competition and will need a shock win at Etihad and aim that Shakhtar Donetsk drops points against Lyon in order to qualify for the Europa League.

In terms of performances in recent times, the German outfit is without a win in its last four games and has only managed three in the last 10.

Who is injured and/or suspended for Manchester City vs Hoffenheim?
