Manchester City and PSG lock horns at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday, as a mouthwatering UEFA Champions League clash promises to be a classic.

City surged to a 3-0 victory at Liverpool on Sunday and have won eight games from eight under new manager Enzo Maresca this season. With Man City’s guilty verdict from an independent commission for breaching Premier League financial regulations, and their subsequent appeal , it has been an intense time off the pitch for City in recent weeks. But they just keep on winning on it.

PSG have endured a tough start to the Ligue 1 season, for them, as Luis Enrique is having to manage the minutes of several of his key players. But they started slowly in the last few years and that turned out more than okay as they won back-to-back Champions League titles.

There are no injury issues for City to worry about, and Maresca has so many options to rotate if he wants to. Ayyoub Bouaddi could start in midfield, while Phil Foden is well rested after his suspension and could come in. Jeremy Doku is pushing hard for a start after his heroics off the bench against Liverpool, while Josko Gvardiol could be rotated into the lineup at left back. Erling Haaland, Rayan Cherki and Antoine Semenyo are looking unstoppable in attack, while Elliot Anderson is a revelation in midfield. City will want to stop PSG's rapid counters and having Bouaddi in midfield could help with that.

Luis Enrique rested most of his regular starters at the weekend so PSG should be fresh and come flying out early. Ousmane Dembele, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Desire Doue will likely line up as the front three and that will be a real challenge for City to stop. In midfield Fabian Ruiz, Joao Neves and Vitinha will dictate the tempo of this game. But like City, PSG's weakness is probably defending counters as they love to press so high and force the issue.

Given that both teams are full of incredible forwards and midfielders and love to press high, we should see plenty of goals and it will be wide-open. This has all the makings of a classic. Manchester City 3-3 PSG .
