Manchester City's biggest challenge of the new year so far comes against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.
After suffering nine defeats to close out 2024, Manchester City are slowly finding their way back to form. Pep Guardiola's men are now on a six-game unbeaten streak across all competitions and have scored 20 goals in their last four matches. The defending English champions will look to carry their recent momentum to the Champions League.
City collected just eight points from their first six UCL fixtures and sit on the cusp of the elimination zone. With their Champions League future on the line, they must now face PSG at the Parc des Princes. The match headlines Matchday 7 and could determine whether City or PSG secure a spot in the knockout phase play-off.
Nathan Aké, Jérémy Doku, Oscar Bobb and Rodri remain unavailable for the all-important fixture. Guardiola will be relieved to have John Stones back in his squad, as well as Rúben Dias, who just returned from injury at the weekend.
Here's how Manchester City could lineup against the French giants on Jan. 22.
