Monaco
Gelson Martins is doubtful to start for Monaco after being taken off on Sunday. Kieta Balde is likely to come in as a replacement on the right. Similar to Martins, Pietro Pellegri is also in doubt to start for the hosts. There is a possibility of Ruben Aguilar featuring in the advanced role, while Benjamin Henrichs could fill in the right-back spot.
PSG
Thomas Tuchel recently confirmed that Thomas Meunier, Marquinhos and Juan Bernat are all out injured. Colin Dagba, Presnel Kimpember and Layvin Kurzawa could ideally be starting for the visitors. Pablo Sarabia should get the nod ahead in midfield, while Neymar, Icardi and Mbappe are in line to lead the attack.
MON (Expected Playing 11)- Lecomte; Ballo Toure, Glik, Maripan, Henrichs; Golovin, Bakayoko, Fabregas, Aguilar; Slimani, Ben Yedder
PSG (Expected Playing 11)- Navas; Dagba, Silva, Kimpembe, Kurzawa; Maria, Verratti, Parades, Neymar; Icardi, Mbappe
Wissam Ben Yedder will be the danger man in the final third for Monaco. The Frenchman has 14 goals, three assists and a pass accuracy of 75.3% from 17 in the league this season.
Neymar has been his usual best and could cause some damage in the attacking front. The PSG talisman has 10 goals, four assists and a pass accuracy of 79.4% from 962 minutes in Ligue 1 this season.
Islam Slimani has also been effective for Monaco in the advanced role. The Algerian has seven goals, seven assists and a pass accuracy of 67.7% from 966 minutes in the league this season.
Mauro Icardi has been in sublime form for PSG in his debut season for the club. The 26-year-old has nine goals, two assists and a pass accuracy of 89% from 12 appearances this season.
