Alvaro Negredo has warned Barcelona that Manchester City will be gunning for goals when the two teams clash in their upcoming Champions League showdown.

The Spain striker believes manager Manuel Pellegrini will stick to his attacking principles when Lionel Messi and co arrive at the Etihad Stadium on 18th February.

The likes of striker Sergio Aguero, plus midfielders Samir Nasri and Fernandinho, could also be back from injuries, further reinforcing the Citizens' belief.

Pellegrini's favoured 4-4-2 system has yielded over 115 goals so far and, although that will surely increase before the Barca clash, it does leave City prone to rapid counter-attacks.

However, Negredo insists: "I do not think the coach will change the system against Barca. In all our matches, apart from when we played Bayern on their own pitch, he has played with two strikers.

"We want to win, and score goals to take us to the Camp Nou where it will be more difficult. We were happy when the tie came out.

"We must have the courage to face them. We have a good squad, quality, and anything can happen if we do things right."
