All eyes were on Man City at Anfield after their guilty verdict, but they coped with the Anfield atmosphere well to put in a convincing performance and victory.
That is eight wins in a row now in all competitions for Enzo Maresca's side, who do not look like slowing down.
Of course, there are question marks over every game Man City are involved in from now until the possible sanctions are decided, but they are doing their job on the pitch.
The Cityzens appear to have no fresh concerns in their squad ahead of this blockbuster clash, where they will again be aiming to make a statement.
PSG also have no major concerns, and could welcome the likes of Nuno Mendes and Ousmane Dembele back into the team.
Luis Enrique's side are on a four-game winning streak across all competitions themselves after a shaky start to the season.
They sit top of the league phase table after matchday one too after a 6-1 thumping of Slovan Bratislava on home soil in the Champions League last time out.
The Parisians can also make an early statement of intent with victory here, as they aim to win the competition for a third season in a row.
