Current form: PSG vs Manchester United
PSG come into this game having won their last seven games across all competitions, including beating Caen on the road 2-1 over the weekend, and will be looking to finish off Manchester United after earning a comfortable 2-0 road victory at Old Trafford last month. Notably, Les Parisiens are the first French club to win at Old Trafford and they also made history by handing Manchester United their worst ever home defeat in European competition. Indeed, prior to the 2-0 victory for Thomas Tuchel's side, Manchester United had never lost at Old Trafford by more than one goal.
Meanwhile, Manchester United earned a hard-fought 3-2 win over Southampton last weekend, but they will truly be facing an uphill battle against history. To date, no team has ever progressed to the next round of the Champions League after losing the first leg of a knockout match at home by two or more goals. Furthermore, the Parc des Princes has proven to be a Waterloo of sorts for English teams, as the last team to leave Paris with a win in hand was Chelsea in September 2004, who won 3-0 under the tutelage of Jose Mourinho during the group stages. Since then, none of the last six Premier League teams to have headed to Paris have come back with a victory - so the odds do not bode well in the Red Devils' favor.
The loss to PSG last month marked the first defeat for the team since interim boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took over following Mourinho's sacking, and to date, it remains the only loss for the Norwegian former striker. Impressively, he has won a club-record eight consecutive away games in all competitions, but that fine record looks set to come to an end unless if Manchester United can pull off a historical comeback.
Team news: PSG vs Manchester United
PSG: Nemyar is still out due to foot and ankle injuries, while fellow attacker Edinson Cavani is a doubt as a result of a hip problem. However, the French giants hold a comfortable 2-0 lead from the first leg and thus will nonetheless feel confident in their chances at progressing to the quarter-finals - especially considering the shape Manchester United find themselves in at the moment.
Manchester United: The Red Devils' injury list is simply mind-boggling ahead of this contest. The visitors will be missing a plethora of first-team options, including Ander Herrera, Anthony Martial, Jesse Lingard, Antonio Valencia, Juan Mata, Alexis Sanchez, and Nemanja Matic due to varying injuries. Phil Jones sits this game out as a result of illness, and Paul Pogba is banned after receiving a red card during his team's 2-0 loss at Old Trafford.
