Man City and Paris Saint-Germain will go head-to-head at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday night in the Champions League.

Man City and Paris Saint-Germain will go head-to-head at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday night in the Champions League.

Enzo Maresca's side have had the perfect start to the season with eight wins from eight games in all competitions, including a 3-0 win over Liverpool at Anfield this past weekend. Luis Enrique's side, meanwhile, have had a mixed start to the season, but have won their last three Ligue 1 games, including a 3-1 win over Lens in their last outing.

Both sides have got some selection decisions to make heading into the game, and this is how GIVEMESPORT expects the teams to line up.

Man City will have a fully fit squad to choose from for the visit of the back-to-back European champions, with no injury concerns.

Maresca is also able to welcome Phil Foden back into the squad too, following his suspension for a red card in the Manchester derby for a kick out on Bruno Fernandes.

Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Maresca shared an update on his squad and their preparation ahead of the game.

> “The message for tomorrow night is quite easy. We need the perfect game because they are the best team in Europe in this moment.

> “They won the last two Champions Leagues, so that shows how good they are.

> “So, we need the perfect game but at the same time, if we play our best we can beat them.

> “I think we are for sure a good team, no doubts about that.

> “Where we are in this moment compared to PSG... I don’t know to be honest.

> “I know how good they are - in the last two years they won the last two Champions League, that shows how good they are.

> “I am not sure how close or far we are but, for sure, we are a good team.”

City are unlikely to make too many changes to their side after an excellent performance against Liverpool, which means Rayan Cherki should continue in the number ten role ahead of Foden.

With Doku fit again, that should see £60m forward Iliman Ndiaye relegated to the bench, where he is likely to be sat alongside £65m duo Abdukodir Khusanov and Allan.

PSG are set to welcome back a number of first-team stars for the game after being able to rest almost their entire team at the weekend. Nuno Mendes, Ousmane Dembele, Vitinha, Marquinhos, William Pacho, Khvicha Kvaratshkhelia, and Ferran Torres should all return.

Youngster Senny Mayulu is the only injury absentee in the squad, having suffered from a dead leg, and he hasn't travelled for the game.
