Former England manager Glenn Hoddle has said that he fears Manchester City will get thrashed by Barcelona in the Champions League tomorrow night.

City trail 2-1 from the first leg and they must win at Camp Nou to have any chance of progressing to the quarter-finals.

Hoddle told Sky Sports News: "They've got to get a result and they are not learning from their lessons. If he [Manuel Pellegrini] goes with two up front, I fear for them. What they've got to do is play more savvy and get runners from midfield, but I wouldn't be surprised if they go with two up front.

"At some stage, they are going to have to go for it and I fear they might get a hammering if they do and when they do, whether it's from the start or at some stage. I think Barca are just too good for them whatever shape they play."

City lost to Barcelona at this stage of the competition last season.
