PSG0 - 0Man City

sportsmole.co.uk, 22 January 2025, 18:53
Pep Guardiola has made two changes to his Manchester City starting lineup for tonight's Champions League showdown with Paris Saint-Germain.

Savinho and Bernardo Silva both watched on as unused substitutes as the Citizens put Ipswich Town to the sword 6-0 in the Premier League last Sunday, but they have both been recalled to the first XI tonight at the expense of Ilkay Gundogan and Jeremy Doku, who misses out with a knock.

Ederson retains his place in goal ahead of Stefan Ortega and will be protected by a four-man defence of Matheus Nunes, Manuel Akanji, Ruben Dias and Josko Gvardiol.

Bernardo is either set to link arms with Mateo Kovacic in centre-midfield or operate on the right flank, with in-form Phil Foden and Kevin De Bruyne pulling the strings in central attacking roles.

Savinho is expected to start on the left flank, while Erling Haaland - who has scored five goals in six Champions League appearances this season - continues to lead the line up.

Abdukodir Khusanov and Vitor Reis were both confirmed as new signings earlier this week from Lens and Palmeiras respectively, but the defensive duo are not eligible to play in this Champions League at this stage of the competition.

Hakimi, Marquinhos return as PSG make three changes

As for PSG, Luis Enrique has made a total of three changes to the side that beat Lens 2-1 in Ligue 1 last weekend, with Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos and Joao Neves replacing Lucas Hernandez, Lucas Beraldo and Warren Zaire-Emery.

Both Hakimi and Marquinhos have both recovered from injury to start in defence alongside William Pacho and Nuno Mendes, while Gianluigi Donnarumma continues between the sticks.

Neves is recalled to start in centre-midfield alongside Vitinha and Fabian Ruiz, while Lee Kang-in is set to operate in an advanced role in behind Bradley Barcola and Desire Doue.

Ousmane Dembele was a doubt heading into this contest due to illness, but the winger is available to make the substitutes' bench this evening, while new signing Khvicha Kvaratskhelia - a €70m addition from Napoli - is ineligible to play at this stage of the Champions League.

Paris Saint-Germain starting lineup: Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Vitinha, Ruiz, Neves; Lee; Doue, Barcola

Subs: Tenas, Safonov, Kimpembe, Beraldo, Zague, Hernandez, Zaire-Emery, Mayulu, Ramos, Tape, Asensio, Dembele

Manchester City starting lineup: Ederson; Nunes, Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol; Kovacic, De Bruyne; Bernardo, Foden, Savinho; Haaland

Subs: Ortega, Carson, Stones, Grealish, Gundogan, Wright, Alleyne, O'Reilly, Lewis, McAtee
