Preview
Manchester City come into this after beating Club Brugge at home 4-1 in their previous MD 4 clash.
Foden, Mahrez, Sterling and Jesus were the scorers for the hosts as they picked up a 3rd win of the campaign.
This win sent them to the top of the table with 9 points from 4 matches, having to win only one more to secure qualification.
On the other hand, PSG dropped points in their last match after a 2-2 away draw against RB Leipzig.
Nkunku scored the opener before Wijnaldum scored twice for the visitors but a late penalty from Szoboszlai ensured a share of the spoils in Germany.
The draw kept PSG in 2nd place with 8 points from 4 matches, with them needing a win as well to keep their qualification within their hands.
It’s a repeat of the UCL semi-finals last season where City triumphed over the French team.
Both sides last met on MD 2, where PSG won 2-0 at home through goals from Gueye and Messi in either half.

Prediction: Man City 3-2 PSG
Man City have picked up after a decent start to the season with important performances. They look a solid team with all aspects covered.
PSG have the fab 3 in their side but have lacked to come together as a unit this season. It will be a challenge to do well in this season given the quality in their ranks.
We expect this to be a goal-fest given the way it has been panned out in recent times. But see Man City clinching this due to PSG’s leaky defence.
Players to watch out for: Gündogan, Foden, Messi and Mbappé.
