Last week when the two sides met in the French capital it ended in a 2-2 draw with the Citizen's coming from behind twice to take home 2 precious away goals. A nil-nil draw will be enough for Manuel Pellegrini's men to advance but the Chilean knows a defensive strategy would be the wrong choice.

City had to come from a goal down on Saturday to get past West Brom at home with Samir Nasri marking his first start since October with a goal but the Frenchman isn't named in the squad. Vincent Kompany is still suffering with a calf injury picked up in March and is set to miss out while Nicolas Otamendi missed training with an ankle problem but will be available to partner Eliaquim Mangala at centre back. The pair are faced with the daunting task of keeping PSG top scorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic at bay but the out-going manager is well aware his team have to attack despite having the advantage ahead of kick-off.

In the other quarter-final second leg tonight is Real Madrid who are hosting Wolfsburg at the Bernebeau. First half goals from Ricardo Rodriguez and Maximilian Arnould condemned Los Blancos to a 2-nil defeat in the first leg, meaning Zinadine Zidane's men have it all to do at home.
