Fernandinho
Man City manager Manuel Pellegrini says Fernandinho has trained without any problems and should be fit to face FC Barcelona. The Brazilian holds position well, and dictates play from the centre of the park. If Manchester City can keep possession at the Etihad Stadium, Fernandinho will be crucial.
Javi Garcia
Fernandinho will likely have a defensively inclined partner in central midfield, given that Barca possess arguably the most impressive passing midfield in Europe, and Javi Garcia may be the man given responsibility.
The Spain international will be tasked with protecting his defence and beginning attacking moves.
