Borussia Monchengladbach's Andre Schubert suggests he is not too fazed by the test in front of his team.

The German side host Manchester City in the Champions League on Wednesday night and despite only taking charge of the team from the sacked Lucien Favre last week, Schubert is going in with a very confident mindset.

"Manchester City are very good and have outstanding players but it is not an overwhelming opponent," he said.

"We won't freeze in awe but instead want to show what we've got on the pitch.

"What we need to do is run a lot to reduce the distance between the parts of our team, to keep them small."

Schubert, who has led Gladbach to back-to-back victories in the Bundesliga since stepping up from first-team coach, added: "The beautiful thing about football is that with a good plan and a united team you could beat an arguably stronger opponent and we want to try that on Wednesday.

"After all I am still unbeaten against City…"
