Enzo Maresca's side arrive after five consecutive victories, including a 3-0 success away to Liverpool, while Luis Enrique's PSG have won four of their last five matches. Erling Haaland is also closing in on a Champions League scoring milestone, with both managers facing important selection decisions ahead of the contest.

Phil Foden is available again following his domestic suspension, although competition for attacking positions remains strong. Rayan Cherki has established himself in the central attacking role, while another possible selection includes Antoine Semenyo in the forward line.
