Manchester City took advantage of the dismissal of Liverpool midfielder Ryan Gravenberch on Sunday, scoring 3 goals in a 13-minute span after his second yellow as they took home a 3-0 win at Anfield. The win left them perfect in the Premier League with 18 points in six matches.
Aside from their 3-0 loss to Arsenal in the FA Community Shield, they’ve gone unblemished this campaign. They took a 2-0 win away at Porto to begin their Champions League campaign, with Erling Haaland scoring a brace in a match they dominated from start to finish.
Haaland will set a new Champions League record today simply by touching the pitch, with the most goals scored (59) of any player in their first 60 appearances in the competition. He'll lead a home side that's fully fit and available, with Phil Foden returning after missing out at the weekend due to suspension.
City have hosted PSG three times at the Etihad in the Champions League and will be bolstered by the fact they’ve claimed victory on each occasion.
On the flip side, PSG can become just the second team in the history of UEFA’s top-flight competition to go unbeaten in 10 consecutive matches against British sides should they get a result.
PSG got off to a very rough start after winning the UEFA Super Cup over Aston Villa, as they lost the French Super Cup and then took just 2 points from their first three Ligue 1 matches. But a 6-1 thrashing of Slovan Bratislava to open their Champions League campaign kicked off a four-match winning streak.
Former Man City forward Ferran Torres scored a hat trick in that win and will be in contention to start on the right wing over Désiré Doué. He could also start centrally while being flanked by the dangerous duo of Ousmane Dembélé and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, as Luis Enrique has plenty of options in attack.
Only the teenage CM Senny Mayulu is set to miss out for the visitors as he recovers from a dead leg. The squad depth PSG possess could be key to them getting a result on Wednesday as they look to join Real Madrid as the only club to win three Champions League titles in succession.
Man City vs. PSG Prediction on Total Goals for Champions League – 10/14/26
Here are the key game stats and trends behind our Man City vs. PSG prediction on total goals for the Champions League match on Wednesday, October 14.
- PSG’s opening UCL match against Slovan Bratislava saw them attempt 35 shots and register 61 touches in the opposing penalty area. While Man City should offer more resistance, it displays the attacking threat possessed by the Parisian side.

PSG FW Ousmane Dembélé vs. Man City: 34.5 Passes Attempted
- In five appearances in Ligue 1 and the Champions League, Ousmane Dembélé is averaging 57.7 passes per 90 minutes.
- In last season’s Champions League, he produced 43.2 passes per 90 across 13 appearances.
- In PSG’s win over Slovan Bratislava, Dembélé attempted 43 passes in just 64 minutes on the pitch.
- Dembélé can operate either as a ST or a RW and will often rotate around inside PSG’s attack. This allows him the opportunity to get on the ball more often than a typical striker.
- The French forward was rested on the weekend as Luis Enrique confirmed he was being rested ahead of today’s match. This means we could see him getting well over an hour on the pitch.
Pick Ousmane Dembélé + PSG to cover the spread on PrizePicks!
