Man Utd vs PSG: Champions League preview, team news, stats, kick-off time

Team news and stats ahead of Manchester United vs Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League group stage on Wednesday (kick-off 8pm).

Team news

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has revealed that David de Gea trained on Tuesday so is fit to play against Paris Saint-Germain if selected. The Manchester United boss also suggested Anthony Martial was fine too after his recent illness, adding: "The training group was a massive one and everyone has held their hand up available for selection."

Paul Pogba should be available to make his 50th Champions League appearance following an ankle injury, while Donny van de Beek is expected to shake off a minor ankle problem after finally making his first Premier League start at the weekend. Axel Tuanzebe serves a one-match suspension while Luke Shaw remains out.

Marquinhos is a doubt for PSG after he missed Saturday's 2-2 draw with Bordeaux due to an adductor injury, while Julian Draxler and Thilo Kehrer are also expected to miss out.

Juan Bernat is a long-term absentee, but Angel Di Maria, Ander Herrera, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe are all available.

Who needs what?

Manchester United will reach the last 16 if they avoid defeat against PSG. United will be confirmed group winners if they win and Leipzig do not - or if they draw and Leipzig lose.

Having been left in the cold, how exactly has Jose Mourinho transformed Tanguy Ndombele into one of Tottenham's most key players?

Jasper Taylor is joined by Ben Ransom and Gerard Brand in the latest Pitch to Post Review show to discuss just that (07:55), as well as Eric Dier's form as he ditches the 'versatility' tag. Spurs are top, but what happens if opponents out-Jose Jose? (13:48)

We also discuss Man Utd's dramatic 3-2 win over Southampton thanks to super sub Edinson Cavani (22:16), and ask: where would Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side be if they played the entire season away from home? Answer: probably better off.

In the Regional Review, Alan Myers joins us to talk all things Everton in their season of two halves so far (36:04), and in the Treatment Table we round up the latest injury news, and join Jurgen Klopp in getting stuck into the five-sub debate (47:18).
