PSG vs Man City score predicted for huge Champions League clash

Manchester City will be desperate for three points in the Champions League later today, with Pep Guardiola's side taking on fellow League Phase strugglers Paris Saint-Germain.

It's safe to say that the majority of people would've expected Man City and PSG to ease their way to knockout stage qualification in the Champions League at the beginning of the season, but that's been far from the case, with both sides sitting near the bottom of the qualification play-off spots. With just eight points, City sit 22nd in the table, two places above PSG, with the reigning French champions sat just outside the qualification spots.

If Guardiola's side wants any chance of automatic qualification, a win today is vital. City's confidence would've been given a boost ahead of the Champions League clash following a 6-0 win against Ipswich Town in the Premier League, extending City's unbeaten run to six games across all competitions.

New signings Abdukodir Khusanov and Vitor Reis have both trained with the City squad after signing this month, but neither will be eligible to play PSG as they cannot be registered until the League Phase is over. So, can City pick up a big three points later today? Let's take a look.

To complete this simulation, we used EA FC 25 and updated the squads with the latest injuries and suspensions.

We predict that the French side could set up in a 4-3-3 formation, with their line-up as follows: Donnarumma; Hakimi, Beraldo, Hernandez, Mendes; Vitinha, Zaire-Emery, Fabian; Dembele, Ramos, Barcola.

We predict that City could line up in a 4-3-3 formation, with their starting XI as follows: Ederson; Lewis, Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol; Gundogan, Kovacic; Foden, De Bruyne, Savinho; Haaland.
