De Bruyne, the return
Kevin De Bruyne is coming back in great shape at the moment. The Belgian remains on 4 assists in 3 matches, he was still at the top of his form this weekend against Ipswich. He will clearly be one of the men to watch this evening.

Before the match
“I would like to play the Champions League in February,” said French international Ousmane Dembélé blandly, referring to the round-trip play-off if PSG gets out of the rut. An elimination in the first round of the premier competition would be unprecedented since the arrival of Qatar Sports Investment in 2011.
For now, after Tuesday evening’s matches, PSG has fallen to 26th place with seven points. Only the first 24 will continue the adventure. The capital club is anything but assured of being there after having burned out at home against PSV Eindhoven (1-1) and Atlético Madrid (2-1 defeat at the Parc on a last-second goal).
Opposite, with 20 goals scored in the last four Premier League matches, City is emerging from a very difficult period which has almost ruined its chances in the championship and compromised its European future (the English club is currently 24th). “It’s a match that comes at a complicated time for both teams in the standings. But at the same time they will try to deploy their best weapons.”anticipated PSG coach Luis Enrique.
