Manchester City are almost at full strength as they bid overcome Real Madrid and reach the Champions League quarter-finals.
Man City fell to a heavy 3-0 defeat in their Champions League last-16 first leg showdown at the Santiago Bernabeu last week as Federico Valverde scored a hat-trick in a one-sided first half.

City suffered no injury blows in their trip to Spain or their 1-1 draw at West Ham over the weekend, with just two absentees to note for their second leg.
Josko Gvardiol is out with a broken leg, while Rico Lewis continues to recover from a twisted ankle.
Gianluigi Donnarumma will start in goal, while there is a discussion to be had at right-back.
Abdukodir Khusanov struggled against Vinicius Junior in the first leg, so moves to centre-back as Matheus Nunes returns.
In central defence, Ruben Dias was rested in east London, but returns here alongside, while Nico O’Reilly drops to the bench.
In midfield, Bernardo Silva was alongside Rodri at the Bernabeu and they start again tonight, while Antoine Semenyo makes way for Rayan Cherki.
