        Would you touch them if I said it was a risk free £50 bet?

        That's what's drawing me towards 6 and 7 to be honest.

            It's free but I still want to give myself the best chance of winning. Tough balancing act and difficult to know what will happen. Tempted by Kompany to be honest, City from set pieces will be dangerous and he'll be the main target. Hmmmm, decisions.

          Bet £50 on City/Barca double chance before the game and then use in the 'free bet' on the draw. Free money.

    The Barcelona plan came out exactly as I thought it would - possession with four passers in busquets xavi cesc iniesta. City, on the other hand, have come out considerably more conservatively than pellegrini's "play our usual game" pre match comments suggested. It's reminiscent of how he also played 4-5-1 against Chelsea in their first meeting. Much more solid though imo, with Fernandinho, Yaya and Silva anchoring the middle and the potent wing threats of Navas and Kolarov providing attacking outlets. Actually, I think Navas and Kolarov are as much defensive moves as attacking moves because they will peg the normally ridiculously attacking Barcelona fullbacks back. They can't afford to be caught on the break especially with Navas' pace and Kolarov's crossing so will have to play deeper.

    I think there will be less goals tonight than expected - less keen to place the over 2.5 goals bet now. I do think if City score it could well be from a set piece with their big height and size advantage over Barça, two excellent crossers in Navas and Kolarov, and Yaya's free kick tekkers. Any of the beastly Kompany, Demichelis, Yaya, Zabaleta, Negredo or Zabaleta could cause havoc in the box.

          I'm taking a punt on Guardado, used to play as a left winger for Valencia and has a good dribbling which might result in a lucky assist or goal. Way more likely to add goal/assist points than Toprak who seems to have never scored apart from those 2 goals in the group stages but will have less balls recovered, I guess 😀
