Borussia Dortmund vs. Manchester City preview: Team news and predicted lineups
Dortmund prepared for their European duties with a big win over VfB Stuttgart at the weekend, with Bellingham scoring twice.
While these were the first league goals of the season for the England international, Bellingham has scored in all four of Dortmund's Champions League games so far.
This includes the opening match against City when the sides met in Manchester last month - a game the Premier League club eventually won thanks to two late goals.
Gio Reyna suffered an injury just days after the defeat at the Etihad Stadium, but the American youngster returned to the starting XI against Stuttgart and scored.
Youssef Mukoko, who was in goal last time out, is also expected to play again in attack, while Donielle Malin and captain Marco Ruiz are pushing for a return to the team after missing the win over VfB due to illness and inability to play, respectively.
City are currently only three points clear of Dortmund in Group G. With a win, the hosts can overtake their English opponents, but they will surely reach the knockout stage.
Former Bayern manager Pep Guardiola saw his side return to winning ways at the weekend after a draw in Copenhagen and a defeat to local rivals Liverpool. Haaland scored a brace in a 3-1 home win over Brighton. This creates 22 goals in 15 games for the Norwegian since his move to Himmelblauen from Black and Yellows of Dortmund in the summer.
His cruelty has surprised many since his move to England, but Dortmund fans have barely expected anything else after Haaland scored 86 goals in 89 games for their club.
Borussia Dortmund vs Manchester City: Potential Champions League teams
Dortmund has lost just two of their last 14 Champions League games at home (W8, D4, L2).
Bellingham has scored five goals in 20 Champions League games - more than any other English teenager in the competition's history.
Rios is Dortmund's record Champions League scorer with 22 goals, including two in five appearances against City.
BVB is the only team to score against ManCity in Europe this season.
Dortmund needs only one point from their last two group games to secure a place in the round of 16.
Haaland has scored 62 goals in 67 Bundesliga appearances for BVB and 86 of 89 in all competitions. In the Champions League, he scored 15 goals in 13 games.
