Barcelona vs Manchester City: Predicted line-ups, kick off time, how and where to watch on TV and online

Barcelona and Manchester City will do battle in an unusual Wednesday night friendly when the season has already gotten underway.

The friendly has been organised to raise funds for the Luzon Foundation, in honour of Juan Carlos Unzue.

The former Barcelona goalkeeper and coach was diagnosed with the incurable nervous system condition ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) two years ago and club legends Xavi Hernandez and Pep Guardiola will face off to help the foundation's research into the disease.

The game could give both coaches a free hit to try a new system or get minutes in the legs of some fringe players.

It would be a surprise if Xavi does not take this chance to play Jules Kounde who is yet to be registered to play in LaLiga Santander.

Various new City signings such as Julian Alvarez, Sergio Gomez, Kalvin Phillips and Stefan Ortega will likely get minutes too.

Barcelona's predicted lineup (3-2-4-1): Pena; Kounde, Pique, Alba; Kessie, Gavi; Roberto, Torres, Pjanic, Dembele; Braithwaite.

Manchester City predicted lineup (4-3-3): Ortega; Gomez, Stones, Dias, Lewis; Palmer, Phillips, Grealish; Foden, Alvarez, Mahrez.
