Barclays English Premiership champions, Manchester City, face a stern test of their UEFA Champions League when they open their group stage campaign away to German champions, Bayern Munich on Wednesday evening, September 17. The Citizens make a return to the Allianz Arena after they were paired alongside Bayern at the same stage of the competition last season. The Etihad side are boosted by their recent 2-2 draw at Arsenal in the premier league, and will be out to repeat their 3-2 win against Bayern on their own turf. The former European champions on the other hand crashed out at the semi-final stage of the competition after losing 5-0 on aggregate to eventual winners, Real Madrid, but will be buoyed by their current league form as well as additions to the squad such as long-term target, Robert Lewandowski and Xabi Alonso. Chelsea commence their 2014 Champions League season when they host German side, Schalke 04 at Stamford Bridge tonight, September 17, in their Group G opener. The German side finished 3rd in the Bundesliga last season, behind Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, while Chelsea finished 3rd behind Manchester City and Liverpool. The two sides were also drawn in the same group in last season's Champions League, with the Blues crushing the German side 3-0 with goals from the departed duo of Samuel Eto'o (2x) and Demba Ba (1x).

BAYERN MUNICH V MANCHESTER CITY League position: Bayern 2nd and City 5th Useful facts: Two European juggernauts are on a collision course in this opening fixture of the UEFA Champions League. Bayern's tiki-taka experiment is still ongoing under Pep Guardiola, although it remains to be seen whether this really fits with the German giants. City have started the season relatively slowly and don't look as though they're hitting their straps just yet. This could be an interesting clash in Germany. Clifford Ngobeni: Bayern win at home. They're too strong. CHELSEA V SCHALKE League position: Chelsea 1st and Schalke 16th Useful facts: Chelsea are in irresistible form at the start of 2014/15 and are scoring goals for fun. Diego Costa is proving to be a striker built to thrive in Jose Mourinho's system. He looks to be a reincarnation of Didier Drogba. Schalke have started the German season poorly and will likely be under the cosh at Stamford Bridge. Clifford Ngobeni: Chelsea win for sure. They are a good side.
