RM – Jesus Navas
Played just 53 minutes against Wigan and although Samir Nasri scored in that game and has been impressive recently, we expect the Frenchman to start on the bench in favour of Navas.
CM – Yaya Toure
This will be the first time the Ivory Coast international has returned to the Nou Camp since being sold by Barca for £24m in 2009 and the midfielder will have much to prove.
CM – Fernandinho
Yet another rested on Sunday and although the Brazilian is defensively minded, the 28-year-old’s presence will give Toure much more freedom to roam forward and cause problems.
LM – David Silva
Many of the Barca first team will know the danger Silva poses as they are team-mates in the Spanish national side and the 27-year-old is likely to be key for City if they are to overturn this tie.
