Manchester City will look to extend their winning run to nine matches in all competitions when they host Paris Saint-Germain at the Etihad Stadium tonight.
The visitors arrive as back-to-back Champions League winners, having lifted the trophy in 2025 and 2026. Both clubs won their opening league phase fixtures, so something has to give.
Enzo Maresca's side come into the game on the back of a 3-0 win over Liverpool at Anfield. No fresh injury concerns emerged from that trip, and the entire first-team squad took part in an open training session yesterday.
Phil Foden is available for selection. The midfielder has served his three-match domestic suspension and, because tonight's fixture is a Champions League tie, he comes straight back into contention. His return is timely.
Foden's availability gives Maresca a decision to make in the attacking third. Jeremy Doku could make his first start since the FA Community Shield on the left wing, while Abdukodir Khusanov is an option at right-back, with his recovery pace potentially useful against PSG's wide threat.
In midfield, Enzo Fernandez carried a heavy workload over the international break, and Ayyoub Bouaddi could come in alongside Elliot Anderson. Maresca is expected to make several changes to his starting eleven.
The match also marks Pep Guardiola's scheduled return to the Etihad for the first time since his decade of dominance as City manager. His presence in the stands adds another layer to an already intriguing night.
PSG, managed by Luis Enrique, will provide a stern test. City's recent form suggests they are ready for it.
