Mario Balotelli will lead the Manchester City attack against Bayern Munich in what looks likely to be a 'safety first' side from Roberto Mancini.

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini will adopt a 4-5-1 formation for tonight's crucial UEFA Champions League clash with Bayern Munich. 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
