Manchester City have no injury worries and boast a fully fit roster to take on the reigning European champions. Phil Foden is back after serving a suspension following a red card in the Manchester derby for a kick on Bruno Fernandes.

"The message for tomorrow night is quite easy. We need the perfect game because they are the best team in Europe at this moment," said Maresca in his pre-match press briefing. "They won the last two Champions Leagues, so that shows how good they are. So, we need the perfect game but if we play our best, we can beat them. I think we are for sure a good team, no doubts about that. Where we are compared to PSG... I don’t know honestly. I know how good they are – in the last two years, they won the last two Champions League titles, that shows their quality. I am not sure how close or far we are but, for sure, we are a good team."
