Barcelona target Bernardo Silva has arrived and is expected to play against the side that desperately want to sign him. Pep Guardiola and Barcelona president Joan Laporta have a good relationship, but no approaches are expected to be made towards Bernardo Silva ahead of Wednesday.
Manchester City are expected to travel back to England after the game on Wednesday to prepare for a game against Crystal Palace on Saturday in the Premier League.

Pep Guardiola’s side sit second in the table on seven points behind Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal, who have a 100% record so far this season.
The team that plays against Barcelona will more than likely be second string, with neither side likely to want to risk any injuries.
