Glen Hoddle believes Manchester City have a monumental task ahead of them this week.
Manuel Pellegrini's side head to the Nou Camp to take on Barcelona in the Champions League Round of 16 second leg on Wednesday night after losing the initial battle 2-1 at home last month.
City are fresh off a 1-0 loss to relegation battlers Burnley which suggests to Hoddle that perhaps they are not in great shape to be trying to save their European hopes against a team like Barcelona.
"They are in an awkward position. They will probably go with two up front again and if they do that it will cause all sorts of problems," the former England manager told Sky Sports' 'Super Sunday'.
"They've got to get a result and they are not learning from their lessons. If he (Pellegrini) goes with two up front, I fear for them.
"What they've got to do is play more savvy and get runners from midfield, but I wouldn't be surprised if they go with two up front.
"At some stage, they are going to have to go for it and I fear they might get a hammering if they do and when they do, whether it's from the start or at some stage.
"I think Barca are just too good for them whatever shape they play."
