Manchester City
Pep Guardiola’s charges currently lead their group. Ahead of the return leg against Paris on Wednesday, the Citizens have 9 points. In the current climate, this achievement is insufficient to qualify for the spring stage of the main competition. It is not certain that the outcome of the match against PSG will solve the question of relegation from the group, but the upcoming game is very important for Man City.
City is sitting second in the AFL Championship with 26 points. A 3-0 win over Everton in the latest round gives hope that Pep Guardiola’s side is fit to play on Wednesday night.
PSG
The Parisians have eight points ahead of the match in Manchester and are second in Group A. Only a win or draw against the Citizens will guarantee PSG’s exit from the group. A defeat in the upcoming match will make the task more difficult. Mauricio Pochettino’s team is fit and ready to play the upcoming game. In the last round of the French Ligue 1, PSG confidently beat Nantes at home. The result was a 3-1 victory and an unchallenged leadership in the league.
