Paris Saint-Germain will clash heads with Newcastle United at St. James’ Park this Wednesday night as they look to earn a win on the road in the UEFA Champions League. The French giants were held to a goalless draw away at Clermont Football recently, so they will be keen on getting back to winning ways in midweek.
Luis Enrique will set his team up in a 4-3-3 formation and could name a strong first team for this clash. We can expect Lucas Hernandez to play from the start of this clash in Tyneside.
4-3-3 Paris Saint-Germain Predicted Lineup To Face Newcastle United
Defence
Gianluigi Donnarumma will function in between the sticks for the French outfit after earning a clean sheet in his last outing. Milan Skriniar will partner Marquinhos at the centre of the PSG defence as they try to keep the Newcastle forwards frustrated throughout the game.
Achraf Hakimi will try to impress as the right-back while Lucas Hernandez focuses on giving a good account of himself as the left-back. Both of them will be instructed to pick and choose their moments to join in on the attack.
Danilo Pereira will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.
Midfield
Warren Zaire-Emery, Manuel Ugarte and Vitinha will anchor the midfield for the Parisian outfit as they try to win the 50-50 battles at the centre of the park.
Fabian Ruiz will have to be content with a place on the bench as he waits for his chance to make an impact in the second half if required.
Attack
Kylian Mbappe will hope to make a difference as the left-winger while Ousmane Dembele hopes to impress from the right flank.
Randal Kolo Muani will once again spearhead Enrique’s attack down the middle. He would be eager to get his name on the scoresheet at St. James’ Park this Wednesday night.
Goncalo Ramos will be named on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the final quarter if PSG are in need of a goal by then. However, Marco Asensio will be sidelined for this game due to a foot injury.
