Nathan Ake missed the last two home games last month with a hamstring injury. The Dutchman remains a doubt despite his improvement, but that is Guardiola's only real concern at the moment after making another move at the weekend. De Bruyne , Jack Grealish , Bernardo Silva and John Stones will be called up, with Grealish likely to face Dani Carvajal again after an active first leg.
Possible City XI: Ederson . Walker, Diaz, Akanji; Stones, Rodri . Silva, Gundogan (c), De Bruyne, Grealish; Halland.

Eduardo Camavinga suffered a stroke at the weekend which worried Ancelotti , although the France international is expected to arrive after the trip . David Alaba , Karim Benzema and Rodrigo are also expected to be fit after the La Liga break this weekend. Eder Militao returned from a Champions League suspension, Carvajal was banned from the league and Ferland Mendy could even work 45 minutes into his game this weekend. Rodrigo may have to settle for Camavinga's midfield role for Militao to return.
Possible Real XI: Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Rudiger, Alaba; Kroos, Camavinga, Modric; Valverde, Benzema (centre), Vinicius Jr.

Grealish vs Carvajal: It was a great game last week and it is expected to be lively this time. The Englishman showed tenacity once or twice, and the Spaniard did not hesitate to hit the opponent. Guardiola might be tempted to bring Riyad Mahrez here, but it could be Bernardo Silva, not Grealish. While all eyes are on Erling Haaland and Karim Benzema, Grealish is unlikely to be disappointed with Carvajal when they kick off on Wednesday.
