4) Alexis to shine again
Scorer of an absolute beauty the last time these two sides met, Alexis Sanchez looks in even more devastating form at the moment after finding his feet in the Premier League. The Chilean forward will be up against tougher opposition this weekend, though it must be said that City have not always been convincing at the back this season.
Unlike Ozil, Sanchez is a hard-worker who does not shy away from the big occasion, enjoying a good scoring record in El Clasico during his time at Barcelona. Expect him to be up for this one and to cause a real threat to City’s shakey backline.
