Man City XI vs PSG: Confirmed team news, predicted lineup, injury latest for Champions League | OneFootball

Two European giants in desperate need of a win

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola will hope his team have rediscovered their scoring touch at the perfect time as they look to revive their Champions League hopes away at Paris Saint-Germain.

But a far tougher test awaits in midweek as City simply must win in Paris to keep their European hopes alive. After eight games - which include two wins, two draws and two defeats - City lie in 22nd place and are in danger of complete elimination. PSG face the same threat and will be gunning for a huge victory.

City’s injury woes are easing, with Nathan Ake and Oscar Bobb close to returning to leave Rodri as the only first-team absentee, but new signings Vitor Reis and Abdukodir Khusanov, along with incoming third signing Omar Marmoush, are ineligible for the League Phase.

That means the defence is likely to be the same as at Portman Road, perhaps with the addition of Rico Lewis, while Ilkay Gundogan may make way in midfield for Bernardo Silva, who was rested at the weekend.

Savinho should come into the attack, after also remaining on the bench, while Phil Foden, Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland cannot be dropped.

Manchester City predicted XI: Ederson; Lewis, Dias, Akanji, Gvardiol; Bernardo, Kovacic, De Bruyne; Foden, Haaland, Savinho

Doubts: Stones

Injured: Ake, Bobb and Rodri

Ineligible: Reis, Khusanov and Marmoush
