Kylian Mbappe and Eric Bailly in action in the first leg

The second leg of the Champions League round of 16 will resume as Paris Saint-Germain host Manchester United at Parc des Princes on Wednesday. Thomas Tuchel’s side head into this game with a fairly comfortable 2-0 lead combined with multiple injuries for the Red Devils in recent weeks.

Goals from Presnel Kimpembe and Kylian Mbappe is the difference between these two sides. It will be an intriguing battle and the French outfit will not be taking the Red Devils lightly, as they were able to win their last game 3-2 against Southampton in the Premier League.

PSG come at the back of an unconvincing 2-1 victory over SM Caen, but they rested some of their stars in that away game. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is still raring to go into the fixture with belief, and wants his team to give their best shot rather than bowing down to the French outfit.

Injuries

The attacking duo of Neymar and Edinson Cavani who did not take part in the first leg are likely to sit out for this fixture after suffering injuries. This will come as a huge blow for Thomas Tuchel.

On the other hand, injuries have kept on piling over the last three weeks for Manchester United. The likes of Anthony Martial, Jesse Lingard, Nemanja Matic, Ander Herrera, Juan Mata, Antonio Valencia, Matteo Darmian, Phil Jones, and Alexis Sanchez have not travelled to France because of injuries.

Suspensions

Paul Pogba received a red card in the first leg, which automatically rules him out for the second leg clash at Parc des Princes.

PSG do not have any suspensions.

Player Form

Kylian Mbappe head into this fixture as the main attacking threat and he will hope to deliver for the hosts. The 20-year-old has scored 29 goals in all competitions this term and will be hoping to do some damage against Manchester United.

Marcus Rashford and Romelu Lukaku will be the hopes for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. The Belgian International scored twice at the weekend and looks to have picked up his form when handed over the chance. On the other hand, Rashford has been a revelation ever since the Norwegian took over the club, and will hope to score against the French giants.

Likely XI

PSG: Gianluigi Buffon, Thomas Meunier, Presnel Kimpembe, Thiago Silva, Juan Bernat, Marco Verratti, Marquinhos, Julian Draxler, Dani Alves, Angel Di Maria, Kylian Mbappe.

PSG expected lineup

Manchester United: David De Gea, Ashley Young, Victor Lindelof, Chris Smalling, Luke Shaw, Andreas Pereira, Fred, Scott McTominay, Tahith Chong, Marcus Rashford, Romelu Lukaku.
