Team News: Jeremy Mathieu takes place of injured Sergio Busquets for Barcelona

Jeremy Mathieu replaces the injured Sergio Busquets in Barcelona's only change from the opening leg for tonight's Champions League second leg against Manchester City.

Barcelona manager Luis Enrique has made just one change to the side that beat Manchester City 2-1 in the opening leg of their Champions League last-16 tie for tonight's second leg at the Camp Nou.

Sergio Busquets is injured and replaced in midfield by Javier Mascherano, who moves forward from defence and has his place in the backline taken by Jeremy Mathieu.

It means that Xavi again has to settle for a place on the bench as Ivan Rakitic is preferred in midfield.

City, meanwhile, have four changes in their lineup from the first leg.

Gael Clichy was sent off at the Etihad and is replaced by Aleksandar Kolarov at left-back, while on the other side of defence Bacary Sagna is preferred to Pablo Zabaleta.

Yaya Toure returns from suspension in place of Edin Dzeko, while Fernandinho gets the nod over Fernando in the defensive-minded midfield slot.

Barca: Ter Stegen; Alves, Pique, Mathieu, Alba; Mascherano, Rakitic, Iniesta; Messi, Suarez, Neymar
Subs: Bravo, Xavi, Pedro, Rafinha, Bartra, Sergi Roberto, Adriano

City: Hart; Sagna, Kompany, Demichelis, Kolarov; Nasri, Fernandinho, Toure, Milner; Silva; Aguero
Subs: Caballero, Zabaleta, Lampard, Fernando, Bony, Navas, Dzeko
