RW: James Milner
Will inevitably be seen as the safe option as Manchester City will be desperate not to concede an all-important away goal. Milner will work tirelessly to win the ball back and rarely leave his full-back exposed which will be vital when facing the likes of Neymar, Suarez and Messi.
DMC: Fernandinho
A mainstay of City’s midfield this season, he will continue to mop up loose balls in their third and get stuck in to win the ball back, not giving Barcelona’s attackers a moments peace.
LW: David Silva
One of the most gifted players in the world, he can produce moments of brilliance but is often accused of forgetting his defensive responsibilities by not tracking back and leaving his full-back exposed. Manchester City will be reliant on him to produce a spark in what is likely to be a nervy game.
