Manchester City

11′ Goal Riyad Mahrez

10′ City are keeping the ball better now after a bright start from PSG and the hosts are patiently playing out from the back. PSG are sitting deep and they can’t find a way through at the moment.

8′ OVERTURNED! The referee is asked to go over and have a look at the VAR monitor and the replays show that the ball bounced off Zinchenko’s shoulder. It’s only a quick check and the referee overturns his original decision.

7′ PENALTY TO PSG! The cross is swung into the box by Neymar on the left and it beats everyone at the near post and Zinchenko clears it at the back. The PSG players are screaming for handball and the referee points to the spot.

6′ PSG are finding some joy down their left early on here and Neymar cuts inside before drilling a shot which is blocked by Dias. City can’t clear their lines though and it falls to Di Maria, but Silva gets in the way of his effort.

4′ Mahrez links up well with Silva down the right, playing a one-two with him to open up some space for a cross, but he ends up hitting it against Diallo and PSG pass themselves out of danger.

2′ PSG are seeing a lot of the ball in the opening minutes but are being stopped from pushing upfield by a couple of late City challenges. They do get it into Neymar down the left, but he can’t pick out Icardi with his cross into the box.

1′ Icardi gets the game underway for PSG!

The teams are out on the pitch now, with kick-off just moments away.

City are unbeaten in all four previous European meetings with PSG (W2 D2), winning their last home match against them in April 2016 in the second leg of that season’s Champions League quarter-final.

Mauricio Pochettino makes three changes to his side from last Wednesday, with Diallo Herrera and Icardi all coming in. Mbappe is fit enough for the bench after missing the Lens game with a calf injury, with Bakker also a substitute. Idrissa Gueye is suspended after his red card in that match.

Pep Guardiola makes just two changes to the team that started the first leg last week as he brings in Fernandinho and Zinchenko. Cancelo and Rodri both drop to the bench.

PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN SUBS: Julian Draxler, Moise Kean, Layvin Kurzawa, Thilo Kehrer, Colin Dagba, Mathyas Randriamamy, Mitchel Bakker, Kylian Mbappe, Rafinha, Pablo Sarabia, Sergio Rico, Danilo Pereira.

PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN STARTING XI (4-2-3-1): Keylor Navas; Alessandro Florenzi, Marquinhos, Presnel Kimpembe, Abdou Diallo; Ander Herrera, Leandro Paredes; Angel Di Maria, Marco Verratti, Neymar; Mauro Icardi.

MANCHESTER CITY SUBS: Scott Carson, Raheem Sterling, Zack Steffen, Sergio Aguero, Benjamin Mendy, Gabriel Jesus, Nathan Ake, Joao Cancelo, Ferran Torres, Rodrigo, Aymeric Laporte.

MANCHESTER CITY STARTING XI (4-3-3): Ederson; Kyle Walker, John Stones, Ruben Dias, Oleksandr Zinchenko; Bernardo Silva, Fernandinho, Ilkay Gundogan; Riyad Mahrez, Kevin De Bruyne, Phil Foden.

Less than a week ago, it was City that came out on top after a brilliant second-half performance saw them seal a 2-1 away win in the first leg as they look to reach their first European final for 51 years. They followed that up with a 2-0 victory at the weekend against Crystal Palace in the Premier League. As for PSG, they bounced back by beating Lens 2-1 in the league on Saturday. They’ve lost their last two Champions League matches, but they need a win today if they want to reach their second consecutive final.
