The Citizens must beat the Germans and hope that Villarreal can take a point from Napoli in the other match in Group A.Despite this need to win it is likely that Mario Balotelli will play as a lone striker, with the mercurial Italian supported by David Silva and James Milner. Yaya Toure and Gareth Barry could be joined in midfield by Nigel De Jong as Mancini tries to stifle Bayern Munich's creative players such as Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery.Micah Richards could miss the match due to injury so Pablo Zabaleta will slot in at right back and Gael Clichy will play on the opposite flank, in the absence of Aleksandr Koralov. Joleon Lescott and Vincent Kompany will continue in central defence.Man City team to play Bayern Munich (probable):Hart - Clichy, Lescott, Kompany, Zabaleta - De Jong, Barry, Yaya Toure, Milner, Silva - Balotelli Read our Ladbrokes review Use code MAXIMUMBONUS to get £50 free at Ladbrokes Like Like Post to wall 149 Reads All Football News Recent Football Articles UEFA Champions League results - Chelsea 1-0 Barcelona in pictures25 May 2012Chelsea beat Barcelona 1-0 at Stamford Bridge thanks to a goal from Didier Drogba and some solid de Champions League 2012-13 Dates and Schedule23 May 2012A guide detailing all the important dates for next season’s Champions League competition Champions League 2012-13 Preview – Could Chelsea rule Europe again?22 May 2012The 2012-13 campaign will see Chelsea aim to defend the Champions League title they won by beating Champions League 2012-13 odds - Barcelona and Real Madrid both 4/121 May 2012Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid, beaten semi-finalists this year, have been installed 4/1 UEFA Champions League 2012-2013 Complete Schedule and Fixture List21 May 2012A guide detailing all the fixtures and important dates for this season's UEFA Champions League comp Chelsea FC land odds of 80-1 to win UEFA Champions League20 May 2012Chelsea's UEFA Champions League victory was unexpected and caused havoc on betting exchanges with t More Stories Recent Articles WTA Strasbourg Final live - Francesca Schiavone and Alize Cornet25 May 2012Francesca Schiavone and Alize Cornet are scheduled to meet on Saturday for an eagerly anticipated Eurovision Song Contest 2012 Guide - Spain25 May 2012Spain have the best draw and a powerful performer but they face an uphill struggle to win Eurovisio Eurovision Song Contest 2012 Guide - Germany25 May 2012Germany's entry is one of the most professional of Eurovision 2012 but it Roman Lob's song Standing Irish 2000 Guineas Betting Tips - Who'll Win the Irish 2000 Guineas?25 May 2012Trainer Aidan O'Brien is responsible for four of the 11 colts that will go to post for Saturday's I Norway v England First Goalscorer Cashback at Boylesports25 May 2012Boylesports are continuing their popular First Goalscorer cashback promotion on Saturday's internat League One Play-off Final First Goalscorer Cashback at Boylesports25 May 2012Boylesports are continuing their popular First Goalscorer cashback promotion on Saturday's League O More Stories Tags Manchester City, Mario Balotelli, Roberto Mancini
