Manchester City are without two key defenders for the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid on Tuesday.

The Cityzens have won their last two Premier League games and they will be aiming to carry the momentum into their European clash at Madrid.

Ahead of the encounter, the club have confirmed that Kyle Walker has not made the trip, having yet to recover from a hamstring problem.

Aside from him, Nathan Ake is also unavailable for the game due to an undefined injury during the recent draw against Arsenal at the Etihad.

Josko Gvardiol, however, has made the trip, but manager Pep Guardiola has confirmed that he remains doubtful to face Los Blancos tomorrow.

City dominated the Spanish giants in the double-legged semi-final last season. They won by a convincing 5-1 aggregate scoreline.

The game at the Bernabeu was closely fought with a 1-1 draw and we could see something similar. It could be attack versus defence.
