Manchester United legend Paul Scholes is backing Manchester City to beat Barcelona in their Champions League tie.

Scholes says Arsenal and Chelsea should also reach the next round.

"I think City can beat them (Barcelona)," Scholes told ITV. "But big players like Yaya Toure and Sergio Aguero need to perform and they need to defend well.

"I think all three English teams will progress but City have the most difficult task."
