How are each team going into the game?
After enduring the worst run of his managerial career – a six-match winless run – Pep Guardiola, on Saturday, oversaw a resounding 4-0 defeat of West Bromwich Albion as Sergio Agüero scored twice while also playing a part in one of Ilkay Gundogan's two goals.
Barcelona, meanwhile, have won their last four games – including the 4-0 thumping of City at Nou Camp last month – while scoring 15 goals.
What have the managers been saying?
"We have to be focused for 90 minutes, knowing they are going to provoke our mistakes because of the quality they have," said Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola."Barcelona provoke your mistakes. But we had a few chances and have to keep going in that sense and try to finish better than we did in Barcelona."We will try. We will try it again. I've never thought we could not win. I have never entered a match thinking we can't win."We have to play almost perfectly to win, but if not we congratulate them and set our minds on the game against Celtic and in Mönchengladbach in a few weeks."
