Paria Saint-Germain will field what is considered to be their strongest XI when they face Manchester City in the second game of their UEFA Champions League campaign.

Senny Mayulu is the only injury-related absence for PSG, who come into this game off the back of three consecutive Ligue 1 wins. Luis Enrique’s side also won the first game of their UCL defence, against Slovan Bratislava.

The front three that started in the 3-1 win over Le Mans FC over the weekend will drop to the bench. Out go Mika Godts, Maghnes Akliouche and Ferran Torres, and in come Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Ousmane Dembélé, and Désire Doué for PSG. The likes of Fabián Ruiz, Willian Pacho, and Nuno Mendes, one of the two player omitted from the matchday squad entirely over the weekend, will all also return.
