manchestereveningnews.co.uk

Pep Guardiola has made no changes from the Manchester City side that beat Bayern Munich 3-0 in their Champions League quarter-final first leg as he looks to send his side into the semi-finals.

City fly to Bavaria with a three-goal lead under their belts after last week's convincing win at the Etihad. Rodri opened the scoring with a wonderful goal on 27 minutes before a second-half blitz saw Bernardo Silva and Erling Haaland find the net.

Pep Guardiola has warned his players of Bayern's comeback potential, admitting during his Tuesday press conference that it 'is in the skin' of the German giants to do so.

The City boss had the luxury of resting key players in the latter stages of Saturday's win over Leicester, with Haaland and John Stones removed at half-time while Rodri, Kevin De Bruyne and Jack Grealish came off after the break.
