Luis Enrique made a couple of big calls at the weekend, dropping first-choice goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma for Matvei Safonov, and bringing Spanish forward Marco Asensio back into the lineup.
The latter's return put an end to the experiment that saw Ousmane Dembele operate as a false nine, so the latter should start on the right wing. Bradley Barcola recently scored his eighth Ligue 1 goal of the season and will also feature in the final third.
Of course, conventional striker Goncalo Ramos is still unavailable due to an ankle injury sustained back in August, joining Presnel Kimpembe (Achilles) and Atletico youth product Lucas Hernandez (ACL) on the sidelines.
Paris Saint-Germain possible starting lineup:
Safonov; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, Neves; Dembele, Asensio, Barcola
Atletico Madrid
Atleti's attack could again include the manager's son, Giuliano Simeone, but Antoine Griezmann, Angel Correa and Alexander Sorloth are all vying for selection too.
Furthermore, big-money buy Julian Alvarez has been involved in 13 goals in 20 Champions League appearances to date, despite averaging just 50 minutes per match. However, he has scored just once and set up one goal in eight away games.
Robin Le Normand (head), Marcos Llorente (thigh) and Cesar Azpilicueta (calf) are all ruled out by injury, and Thomas Lemar remains a doubt, but Pablo Barrios started on Sunday following a short layoff with a muscle strain.
Atletico Madrid possible starting lineup:
Oblak; Molina, Witsel, Gimenez, Reinildo; De Paul, Koke, Barrios, Lino; Alvarez, Griezmann
Prediction: Paris Saint-Germain 2-1 Atletico Madrid
