Paris Saint-Germain have already made history by becoming the first French team to win back-to-back Champions League titles, and it would be a remarkable achievement if they could make it three in a row.
Last season, they rode their luck at times, but ultimately lifted the prestigious trophy after beating Arsenal in the final, with the contest decided by a penalty shootout.
Les Parisiens have made a stuttering start to the new campaign, failing to win any of their league games so far, but Luis Enrique's side will be confident of turning things around in Europe.
Mika Godts, Maghnes Akliouche and Ferran Torres have joined PSG this summer, and they will compete with Desire Doue, Ousmane Dembele and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia for a place in the starting XI.
Slovan are the Slovakian champions, but they failed to qualify for the Champions League main round last season after losing to Kairat.
This season, however, has been a different story, as they won 4-1 on aggregate against Mjallby before beating Celje 3-2 in the play-off round.
Yaya Toure's side are currently fourth in the Slovakian league, four points behind DAC 1904, having played a game fewer.
Tigran Barseghyan remains a key player for Slovan, while summer signing Roman Cerepkai could be an option from the bench.
