Manchester City will be looking to get back to winning ways after Sunday's thrilling 3-3 draw against Newcastle United when they face Spanish giants Barcelona in a charity match at the Camp Nou this evening.
City, who fought back from 3-1 down at St James' Park on Sunday afternoon to claim a point and maintain their unbeaten start to the season, flew out to Spain following that match and have been enjoying some warm-weather training over the last couple of days.
Pep Guardiola's side are facing the Spanish heavyweights in a charity contest in aid of raising money for former Barcelona goalkeeper and coach Juan Carlos Unzue, who was diagnosed with the incurable ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) two years ago. All proceeds raised from the contest will go towards ALS research.

City boss Guardiola has confirmed that he will use the fixture to offer opportunities to some of his players that have not stored as many minutes under their belts as they would have liked so far, while also vowing to include some of his most senior stars. Nathan Ake, who limped off against Newcastle, is a doubt and Aymeric Laporte remains sidelined until at least next month.
Therefore, how do City's fans want the Blues to line-up this evening? MEN Sport has taken a close look at what they have voted for using our interactive widget ( see below ).
Unsurprisingly, the supporters have voted to see a change in goal, with them hopeful that Ederson will be granted a well-earned rest and be replaced by summer signing Stefan Ortega. The German is yet to make his debut for the club.
In defence, they want to see three changes made to the backline that started at St James' Park, with John Stones the sole survivor. They want to see Rico Lewis, Luke Mbete and new recruit Sergio Gomez come into the side.
They also want to see Guardiola make two alterations in midfield, with Kevin De Bruyne and Rodri making way for Kalvin Phillips, who is yet to make his full debut for the club, and Barcelona-linked Bernardo Silva, who started out wide at the weekend.
It's a sea of change in attack, too, with City's supporters eager to see a new-look front-three take centre stage. They want to see Julian Alvarez lead the line and be supported by youngster Cole Palmer and Jack Grealish, meaning they believe Erling Haaland should earn a rest.
Starting line-up City's fans want to see vs Barcelona: Ortega; Lewis, Mbete, Stones, Gomez; Phillips, Gundogan, Bernardo; Palmer, Alvarez, Grealish.
