Kevin De Bruyne and Jack Grealish return in Man City predicted lineup vs Real Madrid

Pep Guardiola rung the changes at Everton and the Manchester City boss is expected to return to full strength when his side host Real Madrid on Wednesday.

City welcome Madrid to the Etihad for the second leg of their Champions League semi-final tie, having come from behind to draw 1-1 at the Bernabeu last week. Vinicius Junior opened the scoring for the home side 10 minutes before half-time, with Kevin De Bruyne rifling home an equaliser with 25 minutes left to leave it all to play for in the return leg.

De Bruyne was among four rested for Sunday's win at Goodison Park, and the 31-year-old is expected to retake his place as the link between midfield and attack. The Belgian has three goals and three assists in his last five appearances across all competitions, enjoying a more advanced role and an ever-improving relationship with Erling Haaland.
