"Starting with the hosts, shattering a string of records last season as they stormed their way to a maiden Champions League crown, PSG have firmly underlined their status as Europe's new poster boys. Completing a silverware sweep across all fronts and rightfully received a string of plaudits from across the globe, the former Barcelona boss has only seen his superstar squad embark on another purple patch."
"PSG Team News Limping off against Lens over the weekend after picking up a first-half blow, PSG are sweating over the fitness of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia on Wednesday night. Likewise, Enrique's camp have already confirmed that they will be unable to call upon Ballon d'Or contender ousmane Dembele. Finding the net on Sunday and now registering three goals in his previous four appearances for club and country, Bradley Barcola will shoulder plenty of PSG's attacking threat."
"As for the visitors, getting a new era underway over the summer following Ivan Juric's arrival in Bergamo, it is fair to say that Atalanta are still trying to find their feet under the former Roma boss. Despite marking their return from September's international break with a much-welcomed 4-1 romp at home against Lecce, that is the only win that La Dea have recorded from their first three Serie A appearances."
PSG begin Champions League defence as reigning champions after a season of record-breaking success and a domestic silverware sweep. PSG have won their first four Ligue 1 matches by an aggregate 10-3 and recorded a 6-3 victory at Toulouse before the international break. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is doubtful after a first-half injury against Lens and Ousmane Dembele is unavailable. Bradley Barcola has three goals in his last four appearances and will carry much of the attacking threat. Lucas Chevalier has completed a permanent move from Lille and will start in goal. Atalanta appointed Ivan Juric and have one win from three Serie A games, a 4-1 win over Lecce, as they seek consistency.
