PSG
Luis Enrique will be without the services of Lucas Hernandez, Goncalo Ramos, and Presnel Kimpembe. Apart from the trio, the availability of Gianluigi Donnarumma, Warren Zaire-Emery and Vitinha is doubtful. The Portuguese international trained on Monday, but the other two did not.
PSG will stick to the 4-3-3 formation, where Donnarumma will be in goal if he is fit enough. If not, Matvey Safonov could start in this outing. In the heart of the defence, skipper Marquinhos will pair up with Willian Pacho.
Apart from the duo, Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes will feature at the back. The pair will be the full-backs, while their priority will be to keep things tight at the back, they will look to join the attack and cause problems for Girona at the back.
In the centre of the park, Fabian Ruiz will start alongside Lee Kang-in and Joao Neves. Ruiz will have the freedom to roam around whereas Neves and Kang-in will look to shield the backline. Ousmane Dembele and Bradley Barcola will feature on the flanks. They will look to stretch the opposition defence and create chances for Randal Kolo Muani, who will be lead the line.
Probable Lineup (4-3-3): Safonov; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Lee, Ruiz, Neves; Dembele, Kolo Muani, Barcola
Girona
The visitors will be without the services of Ricard Artero and Jastin Garcia in their first-ever Champions League fixture. Meanwhile, the availability of Yangel Herrera is a doubt as he missed out on their last outing against Barcelona.
Girona will also line up in a 4-3-3, with Paulo Gazzaniga in between the sticks. The back four will be made up of Alejandro Frances, Miguel Gutierrez, David Lopez and Daley Blind. Frances and Guiterrez will be the full-backs, while Lopez and Blind will take charge in the heart of the defence.
Oriol Romeu will return to the XI after missing the game against his parent club. He will feature as the defensive midfielder and will have the support of Jhon Solis and Ivan Martin in the centre of the park.
Viktor Tsygankov and Arnaut Danjuma will feature on the flanks. They will provide width to their attacks and also look to help out the full-backs against the star-studded PSG team. Meanwhile, Abel Ruiz will be leading the line for the away side.
Probable Lineup (4-3-3): Gazzaniga; Frances, Lopez, Blind, Gutierrez; Martin, Romeu, Solis; Tsygankov, Ruiz, Danjuma
Prediction: Paris Saint Germain 3-1 Girona
