Manchester City welcome John Stones back for today’s Champions League clash with PSG.
A thumping 6-0 victory at Ipswich was a performance not seen from City in months, if not at all this season, as Phil Foden, Mateo Kovacic, Jeremy Doku, Erling Haaland and youngster James McAtee all got in on the act.
But a far tougher test awaits tonight as City simply must win in Paris to keep their European hopes alive. After eight games - which include two wins, two draws and two defeats - City lie in 24th place in the Champions League table and are in danger of complete elimination. PSG face the same threat and will be gunning for a huge victory.

City’s injury woes are easing, with Nathan Ake and Oscar Bobb close to returning to leave Rodri as the major first-team absentee, but new signings Vitor Reis and Abdukodir Khusanov, along with incoming third signing Omar Marmoush, are ineligible for the League Phase. Jeremy Doku sits out due to injury.
That means the defence is likely to be the same as at Portman Road, while Ilkay Gundogan makes way in midfield for Bernardo Silva, who was rested at the weekend.
Savinho comes into the attack, after also remaining on the bench, while Phil Foden, Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland cannot be dropped.
Kyle Walker will not feature amid his links with a move to AC Milan.
Starting Man City XI: Ederson, Nunes, Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol, Kovacic, De Bruyne, Silva, Savinho, Foden, Haaland
Subs: Ortega, Carson, Stones, Grealish, Gundogan, Wright, Alleyne, O'Reilly, Lewis, McAtee
Time and date: 8pm GMT tonight on Wednesday, January 22, 2025
Venue: Parc des Princes
TV channel and live stream: TNT Sports and Discovery+
