Team news

Real Madrid have captain and centre-back Sergio Ramos suspended, while Marcelo is a doubt with injury. Eden Hazard is expected to be fit.
Predicted line-ups
Manchester City: Ederson; Walker, Fernandinho, Laporte, Cancelo; De Bruyne, Rodri, Gundogan; Mahrez, Jesus, Sterling.
Real Madrid: Courtois; Carvajal, Varane, Nacho, Mendy; Casemiro, Valverde, Kroos; Asensio, Benzema, Hazard.
Prediction
The odds are definitely with Man City thanks to their two away goals and first-leg lead, but they made a lot of errors after the restart, which Real Madrid will hope to exploit. The Spanish side need to be near-perfect to progress, however.
Man City 1-1 Real Madrid (agg 3-2)
