These 3 Man City players deserve a chance against Barcelona

Vincent Kompany

This would be a big gamble, but if Vincent Kompany is passed fit to play, the Guardiola should seriously think about starting the Manchester City captain.

The 30-year-old returned to the match-day squad at the weekend against Everton, and actually got on the pitch in the final few minutes.

He is, on his day, one of the best defenders in the world, and City will have to be at their best defensively against one of the deadliest forward lines in world football.

But whether it is too much of a risk to play him on Wednesday is the big question.
