Kyle Walker and Kevin De Bruyne start in predicted Man City starting line-up vs Real Madrid

Pep Guardiola could welcome Kyle Walker back into the starting XI for Wednesday's pivotal trip to Real Madrid.

Manchester City travel to the Spanish capital for the second leg of their Champions League semi-final tie following the thrilling opening fixture at the Etihad last week. Though the Blues hold the advantage, it's still all to play for after Los Blancos managed to reduce the deficit to just one goal having trailed by two on three separate occasions.

Both sides go into the match having notched comfortable 4-0 victories at the weekend, with Madrid securing the La Liga title in the process, but City could be buoyed by the return of Walker. Guardiola was without either of his senior right-backs for the first leg as Walker has been injured since the victory over Atletico Madrid last month, while Joao Cancelo was suspended.
