Midfielders: Marco Verratti, Danilo, Fabian Ruiz

We are assuming Danilo will play in a defensive midfielder role today against Lille to strenghten the back of the PSG formation. If that's the case, then the trio involving the two CBs and the DM is pretty clear. If Danilo moves deeper to a center-back position, though, that might see Vitinha make the XI.

That's not the case in our prediction, though, with Marco Verratti and Fabian Ruiz starting in front of Danilo on more creative roles and duties against Lille.

Verratti was very limited in those terms against Bayern because of Galtier's ultra-defensive game plan last Tuesday, but that should change today. Ruiz would have started but felt some pain in his leg and could only feature off the bench in the Champions League last-16 clash earlier this week. He should be fit to start today.
