City are back in European action against the Bundesliga outfit at the Puskas Stadium in Budapest with Pep Guardiola making five changes in total from the side which won 1-0 away at Arsenal last weekend.
We qualified for the knockout stage of the Champions League as Group C winners and went unbeaten in the group stage with five wins and one draw.
Monchengladbach have won two of their last six games and are currently eighth in the Bundesliga.
They finished second behind Real Madrid in Group B, which also contained Shakhtar Donetsk and Inter Milan. The German outfit won two, lost two and drew two of their group stage fixtures.
This will be the fifth meeting between the two teams, with City having won three and drawn one of our previous encounters.
Raffael’s powerful effort gave the home side the lead, but City hit back before half-time when Kevin De Bruyne’s low cross was steered home from close range by David Silva.
Both teams ended the game with 10 men as Lars Stindle and Fernandinho were dismissed for two bookable offences.
