Following their probant 3-1 win against Unai Emery's Aston Villa in the first-leg of their Champions League quarterfinal last week at the Parc des Princes, Luis Enrique's men were able to rest as their league game against Nantes has been postponed.

Trailing by two goals in this tie, Aston Villa will have nothing to lose in front of their fans, they will give everything to qualify and will certainly start the game with high intensity to try to destabilise the Parisians.

For this game, Luis Enrique will be able to count on all of his players as club captain Marquinhos makes his return in the squad following his suspension.

Paris Saint-Germain's Predicted XI vs Aston Villa (4-3-3):

Gianluigi Donnarumma: The Italian goalkeeper is the first choice at this position.

Achraf Hakimi: The Morocco international is in great form this season, he is without a doubt the best right-back in the world at the moment.

Marquinhos: Following his suspension Beraldo partnered with Pacho in the first-leg. However, the Brazilian will make his return and start to guide his side to success and onto the semifinal of the competition.

Pacho: One of Luis Enrique's most reliable players this season. The Ecuadorian has been fantastic this season.

Nuno Mendes: The Portuguese made another mistake that costed Villa's opener last week, nonetheless, his defensive qualities combined with his ability to counterattack are impressive.

Vitinha: Vitinha is amazing and the leader of Paris' midfield. The Portuguese dictates the tempo of PSG's game.

Joao Neves: The former Benfica prodigy is having a great season with Paris and played a massive role in their success so far this season. He should start this crucial second-leg against Villa.

Fabian Ruiz: The Spaniard is quietly having one of the best season of his career. Though he is often overlooked by media and fans, his importance in Paris' squad cannot be overstated. He will start the second-leg against Villa, unless his coach opt for either Warren Zaire-Emery or start the game with Doué in the midfield.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia: The Georgian put up an extraordinary performance in the first-leg last week, he should start with Paris on the left wing, unless Luis Enrique decides to give a starting berth to Barcola.

Ousmane Dembélé: Paris' best player this season, the Frenchman has had a tremendous impact on PSG's victories up to this point and should keep it going in the second-leg.
