Paris Saint-Germain and Tottenham face each other in the Champions League this Wednesday (9 p.m.). Here is the expected line-up for the capital club.

PSG-Tottenham could have a false air of PSG-Manchester City for Ousmane Dembélé. As against Pep Guardiola’s team less than a year ago, the 2018 world champion will start on the bench, against a British club, therefore, in a League phase meeting that the Parisians are approaching with their “Fourth” jersey.

A wink that several Paris Saint-Germain supporters did not hesitate to make as kick-off approached. But in the environment of the capital club, caution remains essential. No risks will be taken with the France Football 2025 Ballon d’Or.

Ousmane Dembélé should be replaced by another false number 9 profile. Kang-in Lee, who is in good form, is balanced with Senny Mayulu in an attack line where Kvaratskhelia and Barcola are also expected. More comfortable on the left side, the Georgian and the French could swap several times.

PSG relies on its typical environment

In the midfield, Paris Saint-Germain will rely on its strong men with the Neves-Vitinha-Ruiz trio. Three players whose ability to be decisive fills the gaps in the attack this season.

Defensively, Warren Zaire-Emery should still replace Achraf Hakimi on the right side, while Nuno Mendes is expected on his left flank. Marquinhos will find his place in the eleven alongside his friend Willian Pacho. Lucas Chevalier will continue in goals.

The expected lineup for PSG: Knight – Zaire-Emery, Marquinhos (c), Pacho, Nuno Mendes – João Neves, Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz – Barcola, Lee or Mayulu, Kvaratskhelia.
