Team News

PSG
Luis Enrique might greet a few positive updates on the team news front ahead of his side’s latest fixture. The PSG manager will be bereft of the services of only three first-team players vs Manchester City on Wednesday.

Marquinhos will be the most notable absentee, with the Paris Saint-Germain captain recovering from a groin injury. In addition, Gabriel Moscardo remains unavailable, while Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is ineligible to feature in the UEFA Champions League until the knockout phase. Meanwhile, Achraf Hakimi and Ousmane Dembele are closing in on returning but face late fitness tests to determine their availability.

Gianluigi Donarumma will take his spot between the sticks, with PSG lining up in a 4-3-3 formation in front of him vs Manchester City on Wednesday. The backline should feature Achraf Hakimi, Willian Pacho, Lucas Hernandez, and Nuno Mendes.

As for the midfield unit, there is no looking past Warren Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, and Fabian Ruiz. Finally, Desire Doue should spearhead the Paris Saint-Germain attack against Manchester City, with Ousmane Dembele and Bradley Barcola completing the numbers in the offensive trifecta.

Probable Lineup (4-3-3): Donnarumma; Hakimi, Pacho, Hernandez, Nuno Mendes; Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz; Dembele, Doue, Barcola

Manchester City
Like his counterpart in the Paris Saint-Germain dugout, Pep Guardiola does not have any new injury concerns hampering his preparations ahead of the trip to Parc des Princes. The Manchester City manager will be without four first-team players on Wednesday.

Rodri remains the most notable absentee, with the star midfielder recovering from a season-ending knee injury. The Spanish international accompanies John Stones (ankle), Nathan Ake (muscle injury), and Oscar Bobb (leg) on the sidelines.

Ederson Moraes is an automatic pick between the sticks, with Manchester City lining up in a 4-3-3 formation in front of him vs PSG on Wednesday. The backline should feature Rico Lewis, Ruben Dias, Manuel Akanji, and Josko Gvardiol.

As for the midfield unit, Mateo Kovacic should hold the fort in the middle of the park, with Bernardo Silva and Kevin De Bruyne taking creative charge. Finally, Erling Haaland will lead the line for Manchester City against Paris Saint-Germain, with Phil Foden and Savinho being the two wide attackers.

Probable Lineup (4-3-3): Ederson; Lewis, Ruben Dias, Akanji, Gvardiol; Bernardo Silva, Kovacic, De Bruyne; Foden, Haaland, Savinho
Prediction:Paris Saint-Germain 2-2 Manchester City
