Roberto Firmino came off the bench to net the winner in midweek and he could return to the starting XI after an eye problem sustained in the win over Tottenham.

Marco Verratti and Lass Diarra are likely to come back into midfield, with Julian Draxler also reprising his advanced role as Neymar is potentially rested.
With Juan Bernat having been poor against both Saint-Étienne and Liverpool, Stanley N'Soki could start at left-back, while Thilo Kehrer is also in the frame.
Angel Di Maria was impressive on his preferred right flank against Sainté and should shift back to that position after underwhelming in central midfield against Liverpool.
Prediction:
Rennes 1-3 PSG

Date: Sun, 23-Sep-18

Focus:
Both Pedro and Mateo Kovacic have picked up injuries since last weekend and will be assessed ahead of kick-off but may not be risked.
