Leverkusen vs PSG: Predicted lineup for Champions League clash

Paris Saint-Germain is set to take on Bayer Leverkusen at the BayArena in their third League phase game of the Champions League campaign. The European Champions managed two convincing victories against Atalanta and Barcelona in their opening games and will look to continue their winning streak in the competition.

Nonetheless, Luis Enrique's side has failed to win any of their last two league games against Lille and Strasbourg, losing their top spot in Ligue 1 to Marseille. For their upcoming clash against Leverkusen, Les Parisiens will see the return of Marquinhos and Ousmane Dembélé in the squad and could earn some minutes in this game.

Here is Les Parisiens' predicted starting XI against Leverkusen.

PSG Predicted Lineup vs. Bayer Leverkusen (4-3-3)

RB: Achraf Hakimi - The Morocco international is one of the leaders of this team and he should therefore start against Leverkusen.

CB: Illia Zabarnyi - Zabarnyi should start next to Willian Pacho in the heart of PSG's defence as they are set to face Leverkusen.

CM: Warren Zaire-Emery - The France international is getting back to his best after producing solid outings for his club recently, enjoying the numerous absences in midfield to earn more minutes on the pitch.

CM: Désiré Doué - With Fabian Ruiz and Joao Neves sidelined, Doué should start next to Zaire-Emery and Vitinha in midfield for PSG as they look to keep their winning going in the Champions League.

RW: Bradley Barcola - The Frenchman is set to start against Leverkusen after netting a superb goal over the weekend against Strasbourg.

LW: Khvicha Kvaratskhelia- The Georgia international made his return over the weekend against Strasbourg and should earn a start in this important European clash.
