Manchester City host Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Wednesday 14 October. Both sides arrive with strong recent form and a win from their opening European match.

Manchester City face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Wednesday 14 October, with kick-off scheduled for 20:00 UK time. Both teams have three points from their opening match in this competition and enter the fixture in good form.

City have won their last five matches in all competitions, while PSG have won four of their last five. Their recent meetings have produced wins for both sides, adding another layer of interest to a contest between two teams with attacking quality.

Manchester City and PSG form

City’s five-match winning run includes a 3–0 victory away to Liverpool, a 5–3 home win against Sunderland and a 2–0 Champions League result at FC Porto. They have also beaten Norwich 5–0 in the League Cup and Manchester United 1–0 away. The results show City have scored freely in several recent games while also keeping clean sheets in two of them.

PSG’s recent sequence includes league wins over Le Mans, Marseille and Stade Brestois 29, as well as a 6–1 Champions League victory against Slovan Bratislava. Their only defeat in the last five was a 2–1 home loss to Monaco. In the league-phase table, PSG are first and City eighth, with both on three points after one match.

Recent Manchester City vs PSG meetings

The latest meeting in the supplied head-to-head record was a 4–2 PSG home win on 22 January 2025. Before that, City beat PSG 2–1 in Manchester in November 2021, while PSG won 2–0 at home two months earlier.

Across the last five meetings, City have won three and PSG two. City also recorded 2–0 and 2–1 wins in the two sides’ 2021 Champions League semi-final matches. These results offer a recent comparison, but past meetings do not determine how this game will unfold.

Team news and Champions League context

Starting line-ups have not been published and should be treated as provisional until they are released closer to kick-off. UEFA’s preview lists Senny Mayulu as unavailable for PSG with a muscular injury and reports no other absences or doubts for either side.

UEFA’s projected line-ups include Erling Haaland for City and Ousmane Dembélé, Désiré Doué and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia for PSG. City’s next listed match is against Ipswich on 17 October, three days after this fixture. The available information therefore points to a short gap between matches for City, though the confirmed team selections may clarify how both managers approach the game.
