Paris Saint-Germain host Barcelona at the Parc des Princes in the Champions League quarter-final first leg on Wednesday.

The quarter-final draw threw up some huge clashes and this is one of the biggest in terms of star power.

Here's how the squads of PSG and Barca are shaping up heading into this one.

PSG Team News and predicted XI

Presnel Kimpembe, Layvin Kurzawa and Sergio Rico are all certain absentees due to injury, while Achraf Hakimi isn't involved due to suspension.

There are doubts over the fitness of Nordi Mukiele after he came off against Clermont due to a head injury, so there are issues at right-back for Enrique.

The Spaniard made a raft of changes for the Clermont game which means his big hitters are fighting fit heading into this one.

From the weekend, we should see the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Ousmane Dembele, Marquinhos, Gianluigi Donnarumma and Fabian Ruiz return to the starting XI.

PSG (4-3-2): Donnarumma; Zaire-Emery, Marquinhos, Skriniar; Ugarte, Ruiz, Vitinha; Dembele, Mbappe, Barcola.
