Paris Saint-Germain (A) - CL - Tue 28 Sep 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

Looking forward to it, we've got Ruben Dias

Neymar has 1 goal in 8 games vs us.
Messi isn't settled in the team yet.
Mbappe's pace on the counter the big threat

And I don’t think any of those 3 will put a high intensity press on for the duration of the match when we have the ball. In that sense our players at the back may be under less pressure when bringing the ball out than they were against Leipzig maybe

What do you mean by lack of intensity tonight…don’t we have to kick off first!? I’m expecting to avoid defeat as I’m not impressed with PSG one bit so far.

A lack of intensity with regards the build-up/hype, the consequences of it still being a group game between the two favourites to progress...

City have less motivation for a result after Paris cocked up in Bruges.

I also factor in physical fatigue from Saturday, the game this weekend being more important in the immediacy.

If there was something definitive on the line tonight then I would agree, City would have nothing to fear and Pep would probably not deliberating over playing Kev tonight.

Gundo injury is really hurting us..or else he would played ahead of KDB and Bernie I think.

If I had to choose I'd rather we win on Sunday

I read that as...."we've got (clap, clap) Ruben Dias"

I still don't get why so many posters are saying they'd rather win on Sunday. Each game has practically no relevance on the other. If we lose tonight we could still lose on Sunday. If we win tonight we could win on Sunday as well.

Stop worrying about Sunday!

No need to worry about sunday coz we got Jesus .

I like to think that a win tonight and we are 5 points clear of PSG and that is a great opportunity that we need to take advantage of. I would still put the dippers game as the more important of the two but expect us to be very strong tonight.

---------------------Eddie--------------------
Walker-------Dias------Stones-----Cancelo
----------KDB------Ferny-----Berny---------
Mahrez-----------Sterling------------Foden

Gives us a chance to rotate, Jesus, Grealish, Rodri and Laporte for the dipper game.

It’s an interesting one. PSG need a result tonight. Defeat with 2 matches against Leipzig and a trip to the Etihad to come puts them in a tight spot. So I expect to see them charging out of the blocks.

They’re improved on last season, new keeper and full backs will make a difference to their defence. Obviously Messi arriving makes all the waves but it will be interesting to see where Di Maria plays. He was one of their better players in the semi final until his red card. Verratti is pretty good but after that they seem to have a lot of decent but not brilliant centre midfielders like Gueye, Herrera, Danilo and Paredes but they’ve added Wijnaldum. He has played very well against us in the past and he can play through the press.

It will make for an intriguing contest.
