Manchester City will be missing keeper Claudio Bravo through suspension, while Barcelona are without the injured defensive duo of Gerard Pique and Jordi Alba.
The former Barca keeper Bravo had a terrible return to the Camp Nou. The Chilean was sent off for a deliberate hand ball outside the penalty area the last time these two met. Pep Guardiola has started Argentine defender Willie Caballero in his absence.
Barcelona, meanwhile, will not be missing Gerard Pique too much, with summer signing Samuel Umtiti establishing himself as a solid choice at the back for the Catalans. Another summer signing in Lucas Digne will look to prove himself at left-back in place of Alba.
