Picture credit: Manchester City's official Twitter account - as well as Bundesliga's one too! Looks particularly chilly out there, I bet you don't envy the players! City will be hoping for a good performance after their European disappointment a fortnight ago, but an away trip is never easy - not least against a side with nothing to lose in Gladbach. The ultimate underdogs.
The two sets of teams are out completing their respective warm-up sessions now, here are a few pictures snapped:
Score predictions? Let us know your thoughts on Twitter this evening, send us a tweet at @ManCityVAVEL!
As for the visitors, Joe Hart and David Silva return! Willy Caballero drops to the bench after a forgettable afternoon at White Hart Lane on Saturday - whilst Jesús Navas is on the substitutes' bench, with a trio of talented youngsters hoping for their chances to come on at some stage tonight.
Interesting team selections, all-round! For the hosts, Josip Drmic and Thorgan Hazard are surprisingly, amongst the substitutes' bench. Two of the side's best players, it'll be intriguing to see how Andre Schubert sets his side up tonight.
Manchester City: Hart; Sagna, Demichelis, Otámendi, Kolarov; Fernandinho, Touré; de Bruyne, Sterling, Silva and Agüero. Subs - Caballero, Zabaleta, Maffeo, Evans, Navas, Fernando and Barker.
Gladbach: Sommer; Christensen, Korb, Dominguez, Wendt; Xhaka, Dahoud, Johnson, Stindl; Herrmann and Raffael. Subs - Heimeroth, Hahn, Schulz, Nordveit, Drmic, Hazard and Traore.
It's 6.45, and you should know what that time means! CONFIRMED team line-up's, are as follows.
The one and only finished result from the competition this evening, is in Group C. FC Astana drew 2-2 at home with Turkish giants Galatasaray - meaning that group is nicely poised with both sides joint third with a point each.
Elsewhere tonight, there are six other Champions League fixtures taking place across Europe. Amongst them, are City's local rivals Manchester United - where they entertain Dieter Hecking's VfL Wolfsburg team at Old Trafford.
Before the confirmed team line-up's are announced, take a look at the match preview ahead of tonight's encounter - written by City's editor Mosope Ominiyi here:
STAT: City's surprise defeat at the hands of Spurs on Saturday, was their second Premier League loss of the season; they've only won one of their last four matches in all competitions! They'll be hoping to improve that with an impressive away display tonight, you can be sure of that!
Mönchengladbach come into tonight's fixture off the back of a 3-1 away victory over fellow Bundesliga side VfB Stuttgart on the weekend. Unlike tonight's opponents, who visit Borussia-Park tonight - probably sitll feeling the sting of an embarrassing 4-1 defeat away at Tottenham Hotspur.
Kick off is scheduled for 7:45pm (UK time), in what looks to be an intense game for both sides. Mönchengladbach, like City, lost their opening Champions League fixture with a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Europa League winners Sevilla.
Good evening everyone! My name is Oscar Norman and I'll be bringing you commentary of this evening's Champions League fixture as Borussia Mönchengladbach take on Manchester City, in what is expected to be a tough fixture for both sides.
