Fri Jan 24 02:00:20 UTC 2025: ## City’s Stones Returns for Crucial Champions League Showdown Against PSG

**Paris, France –** Manchester City face a must-win Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain tonight, with the added boost of John Stones’ return from injury. City arrive in Paris reeling from a precarious position in their group, currently 24th after eight games, facing potential elimination. A convincing 6-0 victory over Ipswich at the weekend offered a morale boost, showcasing the attacking prowess of players like Phil Foden, Erling Haaland, and James McAtee. However, PSG pose a significantly greater threat.

Despite easing injury concerns with Nathan Aké and Oscar Bobb nearing returns, Rodri remains a key absentee. New signings are ineligible, and Jeremy Doku is out injured. Manager Pep Guardiola has opted for a similar defensive lineup to the Ipswich game, with Bernardo Silva replacing Ilkay Gundogan in midfield. Savinho also features in the attack alongside the undroppable trio of Foden, De Bruyne, and Haaland. Kyle Walker is absent amid transfer speculation.

Kick-off is at 8pm GMT tonight, January 22nd, 2025. The match will be televised on TNT Sports and streamed on Discovery+. A victory is essential for City to maintain their Champions League hopes.
