Wednesday evening sees Manchester City take on the current holders of the Champions League title, Barcelona, at the Joie Stadium.
With the group stages of the Champions League just starting up, it will be a tough game for both sides.
Manchester City have had a good start to the season getting 7 out of a possible 9 points in the Women's Super League.
In their last game against West Ham, fans saw Manchester City winning 2-0, with England's Lauren Hemp scoring the first and Mary Fowler scoring the second.
One key player to keep an eye on is Bunny Shaw. Shaw played an important role last season being the leagues top scorer, but will she be the key to breaking down Barcelona's defence?
Manchester City have been playing with a 4-3-3 formation so it will be interesting to see if they change at all to deal with Barcelona.
Barcelona are holders of the Champions League title, and will be wanting to repeat it again this year.
Barcelona have a very strong team. In their last game, they won 1-8 and the one goal they conceded is thought to have been out.
The only noticeable problem for Barcelona at the moment is the first half, so if Manchester City want to hurt them they will have to do it fast!!
In previous games, Barcelona have played a 4-3-3 formation, but do occasionally play in a different formation, so it will be interesting to see how they play against City.
The last time both sides met was in 2021 where Manchester City won 2-1 with goals from Janine Beckie and Sam Mewis from the spot!
Manchester City come into this game with no notable new injuries, with Jill Roord back from her ACL.
Barcelona still have Salma Paralluelo out, but in good news Ellie Roebuck has been listed in the Barcelona squad list after being out for a prolonged period.
Tickets for this game are all sold out, this match will be available to watch on DAZN at 8 pm !!
