PSG's possible starting XI for Ligue 1 encounter against Metz

Left-winger - Neymar Jr.

Club Brugge KV v Paris Saint-Germain: Group A - UEFA Champions League

Neymar Jr. opened the scoring for Paris Saint-Germain in the game against Olympique Lyon. He seemed rusty in PSG's Champions League opener against Club Brugge. But he looked much more like himself as they beat Lyon.

He made three key passes and created one big chance in the matchup. Neymar also won the penalty which he then converted to restore parity.

The Brazilian international is a technically gifted player with a natural flair for the game. Alongside Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, Neymar was unstoppable during his time with Barcelona.

Now that he has been reunited with Messi, big things are expected of him and the Brazilian is capable of delivering big as well.

Right winger - Kylian Mbappe

Kylian Mbappe was heavily linked with Real Madrid in this summer's transfer window. The Frenchman was intent on leaving but was forced to stay put. Has that affected his form or commitment to Paris Saint-Germain? Absolutely not.

The 22-year-old has been in sensational form so far this season. He has scored four goals and provided three assists in six Ligue 1 appearances so far and will spearhead PSG's attack against Metz.

In the first few weeks of the season when PSG were without Messi and Neymar, Mbappe led the attack with aplomb. He is widely regarded as one of the best players in the world and is expected to thrive alongside his world-class teammates.

Mbappe has played a direct hand in at least one goal in every single Ligue 1 game that he has played in this season so far. He is simply undroppable.

Striker - Mauro Icardi

Unfortunately, Lionel Messi has been ruled out of the game against Metz after picking up a knock on his knee injury. Despite all the star power on their side, it was Mauro Icardi who was brought on to replace Di Maria in the 82nd minute of the game, who scored the winner against Lyon.

Icardi has started three games for PSG so far this season but was demoted to the bench once Messi and Neymar were fit to play. Since Messi has been ruled out, the 28-year-old is likely to take the place up top with Neymar and Mbappe operating on either side of him.
