Paris Saint-Germain organizes Aston Villa on Wednesday evening in the first leg of her quarter-finals of the Champions League.
Ex-PSG boss Unai Emery wants to annoy his former employers next week when Villa tries to reach the semi-finals when they return to the leading competition of Europe. The villans take part in their first competition with the French Giants in an exceptional form after winning their last seven excursions in all competitions, including the 2-1 victory against Nottingham Forest last weekend.
But their impressive run is put to the test at Parc of the Princes against high -flying PSG. The Capital outfit won Ligue 1 with six games on Saturday after he had not lost a single game in this year’s competition. Her dazzling form has also been translated to the European stage, with Luis Enrique’s team knocking the Premier League leader Liverpool in the past 16 years.
Here is 90 minutes Guide to the promises to be an exciting matter.

PSG enters the game with almost a complete squad, but will be without the services of Lee Kang-in, which is currently with an ankle injury. The South Korean will not be the only absentee, and Skipper Marquinhos accumulates in the Champions League.
Lucas Beraldo will probably be the man who replaces Marquinhos in the center of the defense and continues alongside Willian Pacho. Bradley Barcola, Joao Neves and Ousmane Dembele began the weekend victory against Anglers on the bench, but will return to the start -xi.
PSG predicted Lineup against Aston Villa (4-3-3): Donnarumma; Hakimi, Beraldo, Pacho, Mendes; Neves, Vitinha, Ruiz; Kvaratskhelia, Dembele, Barcola.
The villa was also able to play players at the weekend as John McGinn, Boubacar Kamara, Ezri Konsa, Pau Torres, Matty Cash, Lucas Digne and Marcus Rashford. Some of these names should return to the starting line -up in Paris.
With regard to injuries, the villa is currently with an extremely healthy squad. Her only fitness concerns are Ross Barkley and Leon Bailey, both of whom can complete when they return, but could miss it on Wednesday.
The PSG loanist Marco Asensio is available for his parents’ association and starts as a former employee of the French side.
The Aston Villa predicted the line-up against PSG (4-2-3-1): Martinez; Cash, Konsa, Torres, Digne; Kamara, Tielemans; Rogers, McGinn, Rashford; Watkins.
The unbeaten run from villa is striking, but they stand in front of an immense talented and expensive PSG squad, which has also been relentless winners in the past few months. They won 25 of their last 27 games in all competitions and will not have too little trust.
Emery will want to make sure that his team will be in the tie in Villa Park before the second leg of the next week, but it will be an extreme challenge to avoid defeat at Parc of the Princes. PSG’s dazzling front and talented midfield should secure victory.
