Manchester City and Real Madrid are set to lock horns with each ot<\/span>her in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League this week. Both teams have had their own ups and downs this season and this game will be vital in determining where their season will be heading in upcoming weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Manchester City vs Real Madrid: Talking Tactics<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Pep Guardiola<\/a> is likely to post a 4-2-3-1 formation to take control of the possession. He will ask his men to be patient while building up the plays and take advantage of the spaces.<\/span><\/p>\n

Carlo Ancelotti<\/a> could also name a 4-2-3-1 shape on the paper. However, they will try to defend with more players in the backline and the midfield. With sheer pace on the front line, they can be dangerous on the counterattacks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Manchester City<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Oscar Bobb (leg), Nathan Ake (muscle), Jeremy Doku (unspecified), Rodri (ACL), Nico Gonzalez (knee), and Ederson (unspecified) are unavailable.<\/span><\/p>\n

Manchester City Predicted XI<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Ederson; Nunes, Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol; Silva, Kovacic; Foden, De Bruyne, Savinho; Haaland<\/span><\/p>\n

Real Madrid<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Antonio Rudiger (thigh), Dani Carvajal (knee), Eder Militao (knee) and David Alaba (muscle) are sidelined for this fixture.<\/span><\/p>\n

Real Madrid Predicted XI<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Courtois; Valverde, Tchouameni, Asencio, Mendy; Camavinga, Modric; Rodrygo, Bellingham, Vinicius Junior; Mbappe<\/span><\/p>\n

Key Men<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Manchester City<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Bernardo Silva has good numbers against Real Madrid and can be important this time too. On the other hand, Savinho<\/a> <\/span>has the ability to<\/span> trouble opponents with his skills and pace.<\/span><\/p>\n

Real Madrid<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Eduardo Camavinga is back and can be decisive in the midfield unit. In the frontline, Rodrygo has always troubled City and is already in good form.<\/span><\/p>\n
