Ander Herrera has been a surprise performer in a star-studded PSG squad this season.

The 32-year-old former Manchester United midfielder has scored six times for the Ligue 1 giants. Four of those strikes have come this season, including one in PSG's Champions League opener against Club Brugge.

Herrera is not the quickest player on the field. But he has impressed with his ball distribution and finishing this season, something he'll look to continue when Manchester City come calling on Tuesday.


Central Midfielder - Idrissa Gueye

Much like his midfield team-mate Herrera, Idrissa Gueye has been on a roll for PSG this season.

The 32-year-old has already struck three times in Ligue 1 this season, doubling his goal tally for PSG. Gueyye has played in central midfield and defensive midfield for the Ligue 1 giants this season.

Considering his good form and versatility, the Senegal international is likely to make his first Champions League start of the season on Tuesday.


Central Midfielder - Georginio Wijnaldum

Georginio Wijnaldum is one of several high-profile arrivals at PSG this summer. The former Liverpool midfielder has made nine appearances across competitions this season, but is yet to truly impress at his new employers.

Wijnaldum, who has played in a plethora of midfield positions for PSG, is likely to make his second Champions League start of the season on Tuesday. He lasted only 45 minutes against Club Brugge two weeks ago.

The Dutchman will look to make a big outing against City to prove that he can still deliver the goods despite being on the wrong side of 30.
