It can be predicted that the first place in Group A of the UEFA Champions League will belong to Manchester City or Paris Saint-Germain, two of the favorites to win the tournament. Their confrontation in the penultimate match of the group stage is likely to decide the situation of the group.
Defending Premier League champions Manchester City will host the match when leading PSG by one point in the rankings. A win will take the first place and a draw will put them in good form to enter the final day of competition. PSG will need to double down on their performances in the meeting in September when the French side beat Man City 2-0 at the Parc des Princes in Paris.
A loss for either team would force them to qualify if third place Club Brugge wins their match.

It was a coincidence that PSG and their manager Mauricio Pochettino arrived in Manchester as rumors were heating up linking him to a permanent coaching position at Manchester United. He had to answer several questions on the topic during his pregnancy press conference and all of them were inconclusive.

Manchester City lineup vs. PSG
It was a somewhat unexpected formation after manager Pep Guardiola previously indicated that several players were injured. Phil Foden is not in the squad, Kevin De Bruyne (COVID-19) has been sidelined for Manchester City, while Jack Grealish missed training on Tuesday and has not recovered. Ferran Torres is still absent due to a long-term injury.
Manchester City starting lineup (4-3-3, left to right): 31-Ederson-GK – 27-Joao Cancelo, 3-Ruben Dias, 5-John Stones, 2-Kyle Walker – 11-Oleksandr Zinchenko, 16-Rodri, 8-Ilkay Gundogan (captain) – 20-Bernardo Silva, 7 -Raheem Sterling, 26-Riyad Mahrez
Manchester City substitutes (8): 13-Zack Steffen-GK, 33-Scott Carson-GK, 6-Nathan Ake, 14-Aymeric Laporte, 80-Cole Palmer, 87-James McAtee, 25-Fernandinho, 9-Gabriel Jesus
According to L’Equipe and Canal Plus, midfielders Marco Verratti (quad) and Georginio Wijnaldum (knee) were unable to start for PSG after picking up injuries during Tuesday’s training session. But the big news is that summer signing Sergio Ramos will be in the PSG starting XI on his first game day since joining the French club. The 35-year-old centre-back will not start, but he can be a late substitute who helps close a result.
PSG starting lineup (4-3-3, left to right): 1-Keylor Navas-GK – 25-Nuno Mendes, 3-Presnel Kimpembe, 5-Marquinhos (captain), 2-Achraf Hakimi – 21-Ander Herrera, 27-Idrissa Gueye, 8-Leandro Paredes – 10-Neymar Jr. , 7-Kylian Mbappe, 30-Lionel Messi
