Real Madrid
A sight for sore Blancos eyes, both Antonio Rudiger and David Alaba - who missed the first leg through injury - were able to take part in full training on Monday, and the pair are both expected to be in contention for the visit of the English champions.
However, the same cannot be said for Lucas Vazquez, who is still on the mend from a hamstring concern, while Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal are both long-term absentees with their respective knee concerns.
While Ancelotti may understandably exercise caution over Alaba, a fit-again Rudiger's return could allow the Real boss to revert Aurelien Tchouameni to a midfield position, while Bellingham's impending domestic ban - which could be as many as 12 games - means nothing for Europe.
Real Madrid possible starting lineup:
Courtois; Valverde, Asencio, Rudiger, Mendy; Camavinga, Tchouameni; Rodrygo, Bellingham, Vinicius; Mbappe
Manchester City
Like their hosts, Man City could also be aided by a double defensive boost ahead of the second leg; neither Ruben Dias nor Nathan Ake were risked against Newcastle due to muscular tightness, but both have chances of coming back for the clash with Ancelotti's men.
Jack Grealish might also be able to shake off the groin complaint he sustained in the first leg, but Manuel Akanji is facing weeks out with the abductor issue he suffered last week, joining Oscar Bobb (fitness) and Rodri (ACL) in the infirmary.
Bagging his 48th and 49th Champions League goals in the opening encounter, Haaland will write two chapters of UCL history with a 50th on Wednesday, which would see him become both the youngest and quickest player to hit a half-century of strikes in the competition.
Manchester City possible starting lineup:
Ederson; Nunes, Dias, Ake, Gvardiol; Gonzalez; Savinho, Silva, De Bruyne, Marmoush; Haaland
Prediction: Real Madrid 2-2 Manchester City (Real Madrid win 5-4 on aggregate)
