Manchester City v Paris Saint-Germain confirmed team news

Manchester City play host to back-to-back UEFA Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain in a hugely-anticipated showdown on Wednesday night.

The Citizens head into the clash in superb form having won each of their last eight fixtures in all competitions, including a 3-0 thumping of Liverpool in the Premier League at Anfield on Sunday.

Despite the ongoing noise surrounding City's off the field issues, boss Enzo Maresca has challenged his side to remain focussed on the task in hand -- one that doesn't get much bigger than what stands in front of them this evening.

Ligue 1 side PSG have reigned supreme in this competition in each of the past two years and were 4-2 victors the last time they faced City back in January last year.

They travel to Manchester as favourites to achieve a rare three-peat this term, having already flexed their European muscle with a thumping 6-1 demolition of FK Slovan Bratislava last month.

Maresca makes three changes from the team that started the 3-0 win over Liverpool as Jeremy Doku starts on the flank.

The other two alterations are in the full-back positions as Abdukodir Khusanov and Josko Gvardiol replace Matheus Nunes and Nico O'Reilly respectively.

For the visitors, Luis Enrique is able to call upon key pair Nuno Mendes and Ousmane Dembele after they were both rested in PSG's 3-1 win over Le Mans at the weekend.

Frenchman Dembele replaces former Manchester City man Ferran Torres in attack, whilst Mendes is restored alongside other big-hitters in the shape of Desire Doue and Vitinha.

Maghnes Akliouche gets the nod over Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
