Preview
PSG look to take revenge against Manchester City, who knocked them out of the UCL last season; on Wednesday.
The Parisians were held to a 1-1 draw in their first match of the season against Club Brugge and need to get a win under their belt to start a good run in the competition.
Herrera’s strike was cancelled out by Vanaken in the first half as both sides shared the spoils.
On the other hand, Manchester City beat RB Leipzig 6-3 in their opener and aim to make it successive UCL wins.
Ake, Jesus, Cancelo, Grealish, Mahrez and Mukiele’s own goal did the job for City as they flew off the blocks.
Even Nkunku’s hat-trick could not create a downfall for City as they routed their German opponents.
A Messi-Pep reunion is on the cards with the latter, eyeing goals this season following his blank start in his new surroundings.
This is set to be a high-voltage contest with quality and a sense of renewed aggression from either side.
The last time these two sides met, Manchester City won 2-0 through a Mahrez brace.

Prediction: PSG 1-2 Man City
PSG looked clueless on occasions against Club Brugge, who deservedly got a point from the opener and we expect a tougher challenge in Man City.
Manchester City has a quality and formidable squad after their heroics in the UCL semi-final against the same opponents, we expect them to once again pull off a win.
Di Maria’s absence proves crucial to PSG’s chances and the Parisians could suffer without him.
Players to watch out for: Herrera, Mbappé, Mahrez and De Bruyne.
