It is no secret that Manchester City have one of the best midfields in world football, and that should come to the fore in their UEFA Champions League clash against PSG.

Pep Guardiola has an embarrassment of riches in midfield, with the likes of Kevin De Bruyne, Jack Grealish, Bernardo Silva, Ilkay Gundogan, Rodri and Fernandinho all being able to start against PSG.

The French club, on the other hand, will be missing the likes of Marco Verratti and Angel Di Maria, who have become integral players over the years. This should allow Manchester City to dominate possession and easily overrun PSG's midfield during the game.

The likes of Ander Herrera, Leandro Paredes and Idrissa Gueye do not hold a candle to any of Manchester City's midfielders and that should be quite obvious during the game.


#2 Gabriel Jesus steps up once again for Manchester City

Gabriel Jesus has been one of Manchester City's most important players this season. The Brazilian has been primarily deployed on the wing by Pep Guardiola and has completely transformed his style of play.

Jesus already has three goals and three assists across all competitions for Manchester City this season and will be looking to add to his tally against PSG. The Brazilian will be buoyed by his winner against Chelsea at the weekend and will hope to take that momentum into the game.

He should be able to expose PSG left-back Abdou Diallo with his pace, movement and ability on the ball and will be a key player for Manchester City on the night.

Despite both teams being on similar runs of form, Manchester City are the favorites to win their UEFA Champions League clash against PSG and should not have any problems doing so.

Pep Guardiola has historically got the better of Mauricio Pochettino on multiple occasions and that should be the case once again. Manchester City have been unstoppable of late and should be able to overwhelm PSG with their dynamism and directness.

The only way PSG can come away with a win is if Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe or Neymar can produce some magic on the night. Otherwise, it is likely that Manchester City will blow away the French side and take a commanding lead at the top of Group A.
