PSG vs Barcelona: Preview

PSG are purring once again, after putting a slow start to the domestic season behind them to win six successive matches in all competitions.

Having won the Champions League in each of the past two campaigns, Luis Enrique's men showed why they remain the team to beat on the continent in their 4-2 victory at Manchester City last Wednesday, when they went 3-0 up inside 32 minutes at the Etihad Stadium.

The visit of Barcelona is arguably an even bigger test, with Hansi Flick's men tipped by many as the strongest challengers to PSG's throne this season, and they will be looking to repeat their 2-1 win over these opponents in the league phase last term.

Enrique made eight changes for Saturday's 3-1 comeback win at Strasbourg in Ligue 1, although two of the players he rested - Ousmane Dembele and Desire Doue - had to come off the bench to secure the points with late goals. Expect them to return to the starting XI, but left-back Nuno Mendes will not be involved after suffering a thigh injury.

Barcelona will rightly head to Paris full of confidence, after Saturday's 5-2 win at Real Betis extended their perfect start to the campaign.

The Catalans look unstoppable in La Liga, where their nine straight victories is the joint-best start to a season in the division's history, while they have eased to 5-1 and 4-1 triumphs over Feyenoord and Galatasaray respectively.

Hansi Flick made only four changes to his lineup between last Tuesday's win over Gala and the thrashing of Betis, which could see Eric Garcia, Joao Cancelo, Anthony Gordon and Dani Olmo return to the starting XI for the trip to Paris.

The Barca manager also received a huge boost with the return from injury of top goalscorer Raphinha, although it remains to be seen if the Brazilian forward is fit enough to start after coming off the bench on Saturday.

FourFourTwo's prediction

PSG 2-2 Barcelona

This has all the makings of a classic, but both teams are so good that it's hard to pick a winner.
