PSG will host the Citizens in a first leg match between the two teams in the Champions League's quarterfinals. The venue is Park des Princes in Paris and the match will start at 19:45 GMT (click here to watch it live). The clash is important for both teams since none of them have ever qualified for the semifinals of the tournament and thus the one two advance would set a new club record. And while both clubs have big ambitions, PSG looks more focused of the two teams in winning the CL and is definitely one of the pretenders considering their form. They have also basically won the Ligue 1 and now their only focus will be on CL while Manchester have to fight for finishing among the top 4 in Premier League to guarantee their place in CL next season.
Both teams face serious problems with key players missing the match. Veratti and Pastore are injured for PSG while for City will be missing Sterling, Kompany, and Toure. However, Joe Hart will be returning for the clash tonight.
