PSG predicted lineup vs Newcastle: Mbappe and Dembele will start!
PSG will take on Newcastle United at St James’ Park in a crucial Champions League game for the Parisians. So, here is the PSG predicted lineup vs Newcastle.
PSG had gone through a large-scale change in terms of their squad from the last season. The likes of Messi and Neymar are no longer a part of the team and they have bought some fresh faces in this summer transfer window. As a team in transition, PSG had a bad start to the season as they are in fifth place in Ligue 1 after seven games. However, they started emphatically in the Champions League when they beat Dortmund 2-0 at home. In their next game, PSG will travel to St. James’ Park to face Newcastle United. So, how will Luis Enrique set up his PSG team against Newcastle United? Here is the PSG predicted lineup vs Newcastle.
PSG predicted lineup against Newcastle United in the Champions League
So, let’s start this discussion on the PSG predicted lineup against Newcastle United in the Champions League with the formation of Luis Enrique which is expected to be a 4-3-3. The PSG manager trusts Gianluigi Donnarumma in between the sticks and thus, he will surely start this game against the Magpies.
When it comes to the defence of PSG, they have leaked goals. However, it is expected that Achraf Hakimi will start as the right-back as he has been brilliant so far this season. Marquinhos will be the starting centre-back for the Parisians and the newcomer, Milan Skriniar will partner him in that position. Luis Enrique will trust Lucas Hernandez as his left-back.
In the three-man midfield for PSG, Vitinha will surely start as he has been very creative this season. Manuel Ugarte could be another midfielder for the Parisians who can give a lot going forward against the Magpies. The third man in that midfield three is expected to be Warren Zaire-Emery.
PSG have a forward line that can strike fear into the heart of any opposition. So, Newcastle has to be very good defensively against them as Tripper will be up against perhaps the best player in the world right now Kylian Mbappe on the left-hand side of the pitch. On the right-hand side, Luis Enrique will deploy Ousmane Dembele against Eddie Howe’s Dan Burn. As the centre-forward, Randal Kolo Muani is expected to start for PSG.
PSG predicted lineup vs Newcastle United: Donnarumma, Hakimi, Marquinhos, Skriniar, Hernandez; Vitinha, Ugarte, Zaire-Emery, Mbappe, Kolo Muani, Dembele.
