Some early team news from the Manchester City
camp ahead of tonight's trip to the Nou Camp - and there is a big
positive for Manuel Pellegrini.
Former Barcelona midfielder Yaya Toure
returns from suspension after missing the last three Champions League
games following his red card against CSKA Moscow.
City - who trail 2-1 after the first leg and
must score twice - are without left-back Gael Clichy after his red card
in the first game.
Who says Manchester City fans don't care about
the Champions League? These three Blues look happy enough to be soaking
up the atmosphere in sunny Barcelona. Surely beats a cold Wednesday
night in Gillingham...
But Manuel Pellegrini's side must do
something that no other team has done since 1984 - and that is stopping
Barcelona progressing in a two-legged Uefa competition tie after winning
the first match.
With exactly four hours until kick-off, it is time to divert our attention to tonight's tantalising Champions League action.
Manchester City travel to Barcelona aiming
to overturn a 2-1 deficit and prolong English Premier League interest
going into the Champions League quarter-finals.
The other tie sees Borussia Dortmund facing
exactly the same task. The German side host Italian champions Juventus,
who hold a 2-1 advantage from the reverse fixture in Turin.
Stay tuned for early team news, pre-match statistics and images from the build up in both cities...
