Team news
David Alaba is a major injury doubt for Real Madrid. The Austrian was forced off at half-time in the first leg and was absent from training on Sunday. Eden Hazard and Gareth Bale also missed the session and appear again unlikely to be involved, but Casemiro played an hour of the weekend La Liga win, and may start.
Pep Guardiola hinted after Manchester City’s thrashing of Leeds that Kyle Walker may miss the remainder of the season, while Nathan Ake was also limping as Oleksandr Zinchenko replaced him during that 4-0 victory. Guardiola seemed slightly more optimistic that John Stones might be available, but the centre-half remains doubtful, which could leave the visitors short of squad options at the back in the Spanish capital.
Predicted line-ups
Real Madrid: Courtois; Carvajal, Éder Militão, Nacho, Mendy; Modrić, Casemiro, Kroos; Valverde, Benzema, Vinícius Júnior
Manchester City: Ederson; João Cancelo, Rúben Dias, Laporte, Zinchenko; De Bruyne, Rodri, Bernardo Silva; Mahrez, Jesus, Foden
Odds
Real Madrid win 5/2
Draw 3/1
Manchester City win 11/10
Prediction
The second leg should again be enthralling with so much on the line, and Manchester City might just sneak through on aggregate with a draw on the night. Real Madrid 2-2 Manchester City (5-6 agg.)
