Following their 1-0 victory over Angers which clinched their 13th Ligue 1 title, Paris Saint-Germain will host Unai Emery's Aston Villa in the first-leg of their Champions League quarterfinal on April 9.
Luis Enrique will have a tough test against Aston Villa and Unai Emery, former PSG coach, when both side will face in the Champions League, as both coaches know each other very well.
Though, with Paris in excellent form at the moment, the French champions are heavy favourite ahead of this game, but Aston Villa led by an in-form Asensio, PSG loanee remain dangerous.
Ahead of this important game, Paris will have all of their players available, with the exception of Kang-In Lee who is still sidelined following his injury sustained while on international duty.
Donnarumma : The Italian goalkeeper is the number one option for Luis Enrique and will certainly play a huge role for his club as he did against Liverpool.
Hakimi: The right-back is certainly the best in the world in his position at the moment, a real leader for PSG.
Beraldo: The Brazilian centre-back is set to start this game, with club captain Marquinhos suspended. Though, Luis Enrique might opt to start Lucas Hernandez for the first-leg.
Pacho: He is with Marquinhos the leader of Paris' backline. The Ecuador international is rarely mentionned but his performances make him one of the best in Europe in his position.
Nuno Mendes: The Portuguese international is the first choice at his position for Luis Enrique and has put up several top performances in the Champions League.
Vitinha: One of the best midfielder in Europe, he has the ability to control the pace of the game and always makes the right choices under pressure.
Joao Neves: His duo with Vitinha in PSG's midfield is key in their success, he is set to start this game.
Fabian Ruiz: The Spain international is rarely cited when talking about Paris' best players, but his contribution is crucial for the team.
Barcola: The 22-year-old is having a great season and he is set to start this crucial game against the Villans. Though, Désiré Doué could earn a starting berth following his amazing form in recent weeks.
