Team News: Four changes for Manchester City against Barcelona in Champions League

Manchester City make four changes for the first leg of their Champions League last-16 clash at home to Barcelona.

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has made four changes to his starting lineup for the first leg of their Champions League last-16 clash at home to Barcelona.

Martin Demichelis, Gael Clichy, Fernando and James Milner are all recalled following Saturday's 5-0 thrashing of Newcastle United in the Premier League.

January signing Wilfried Bony remains on the bench, while Yaya Toure misses out altogether through suspension.

Meanwhile, Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez all start for Barcelona, who make three changes in the wake of their shock 1-0 defeat at home to Malaga in La Liga.

Marc-Andra ter Stegen replaces Claudio Bravo in goal, while Javier Mascherano and Ivan Rakitic also return for Luis Enrique's side.

Man City: Hart; Zabaleta, Kompany, Demichelis, Clichy; Fernando, Milner, Nasri, Silva; Dzeko, Aguero
Subs: Caballero, Sagna, Mangala, Fernandinho, Lampard, Navas, Bony

Barcelona: Ter Stegen; Alves, Pique, Mascherano, Alba; Busquets, Iniesta, Rakitic; Neymar, Messi, Suarez
