Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher says Manuel Pellegrini can save his Manchester City job with victory at Champions League opponents Barcelona. Pellegrini's job is hanging by a thread after defeat at Burnley.

Carragher told Sky Sports: "I think he's got a big problem in terms of his job because you only have to look at the owners and how they dealt with Mancini - a man who won the league, I think he won the FA Cup. Pellegrini won a domestic cup and the league in his first season.

"The exact same thing is happening. They're just drifting in that second season. I think he's going to need a result like Laurent Blanc got.

"I think Laurent Blanc saved his job at Paris Saint-Germain in that Chelsea game. I think he's going to need something like that on Wednesday night in the Nou Camp to stay there at the club."
