Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique is blessed with a fully-fit selection of players for Tuesday’s Champions League last-16 second leg against Liverpool at Anfield.
Les Parisiens were left to lament their own wastefulness and an extraordinary Alisson Becker display last week, as they lost the first leg 1-0 courtesy of a second-half Harvey Elliott strike.
However, PSG rediscovered their ruthless touch in Saturday’s 4-1 Ligue 1 thumping of Rennes, where Enrique made a plethora of changes with the trip to Merseyside in mind.
Now reverting to his strongest XI, Enrique will likely make as many as eight alterations from the weekend, starting with Gianluigi Donnarumma coming in for Matvey Safonov in goal.
Willian Pacho should be the only player to reprise their role at the back, as Marquinhos, Nuno Mendes and Achraf Hakimi replace Lucas Beraldo, Lucas Hernandez and Warren Zaire-Emery, apparently a transfer target for Liverpool.
Fabian Ruiz and Vitinha will return alongside Joao Neves in the middle of the park, while Khvicha Kvaratskhelia – who had a goal disallowed for offside in the first leg – will return to the final third, as will Ousmane Dembele.
The former Barcelona man is now on a staggering 28 goals for the season in all competitions after his brace off the bench against Rennes, while Bradley Barcola‘s opener in the same game moved him onto 18 for the campaign.
Paris Saint-Germain possible starting lineup:
Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Ruiz, Vitinha, Neves; Kvaratskhelia, Dembele, Barcola
