On the eve of the meeting between the two clubs, it is already possible to define the main trends in the compositions for PSG/Manchester City. The absent players are more or less known and the Parisian starting lineup should be the typical team of the moment.
A good month after PSG's crucial victory at Salzburg (3-0), the Champions League returns to the Parc des Princes this Wednesday evening with a very important match against Manchester City, hardly better engaged in the competition with eight points on the clock and a 22nd place just one length behind the Parisians. In three away matches, the Citizens have lost twice for only one victory.
And following its victory at Lens on Saturday (1-2), PSG has no new injuries and on the contrary will recover fresh players: Marquinhos, Hakimi and Dembélé returned to training this Monday and are in theory fit to play which means that Paris will normally simply be deprived of Kvaratskhelia and Mbaye only. On the eve of the PSG/City match, two main doubts surround Luis Enrique's starting lineup.
Two uncertainties in the composition of PSG against City
It is not in the goals or in defense that we must ask ourselves questions but as always in the middle with the famous four players for three positions. Vitinha is least in danger as a sentinel and Zaire-Emery visibly well on his way to starting as a right torchbearer. On the left, João Neves would hold the rope rather than Fabian Ruiz according to the press of the day.
In attack, Stagger should start on the left side, as very often, while L'Equipe places Ousmane Dembele's in the axis in a false point role. For the last position on the right side, it is played between Désiré Gifted et Lee Kang-in, with advantage in first for now. To be confirmed over the next few hours, however.
-The probable composition of PSG against City: Donnarumma – Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes – Zaïre-Emery, Vitinha, Neves or Ruiz – Doué or Lee, Dembélé, Barcola
A doubt per line on the Citizen side
On the City side, the composition which will challenge PSG generally involves uncertainty by line, the Citizens having a small squad which necessarily reduces Guardiola's choices. The first uncertainty is in the goal between Ederson et Ortega and the Brazilian would visibly start at the Parc des Princes after being revived this weekend in the league (6-0 at Ipswich Town). It remains to find the ten outfield players, with seven probable starters.
In defense, it is the right-back position which is open between Matheus Nunesconverted torchbearer, and Rico Lewisa local start-up that is gaining momentum. Advantage to the second which should accompany KanjiRuben Dias et Guardiola. In the middle double pivot, Bernardo Silva should accompany Kovacic rather than Gündoganstruggling this season. Finally, in attack, it is Tissue rather than Savinho who would hold the door on the left side. the axis being reserved for De Bruyne et Haaland and the right side to The foot.
City's probable line-up against PSG: Ederson – Lewis, Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol – Silva, Kovacic – Foden, De Bruyne, Doku – Haaland
