The second Champions League semi-final kicks off tonight with last year’s runner-up Paris Saint-Germain hosting Manchester City, as both sides look to take home the European Cup for the first time.

The Ligue 1 giants got revenge for their loss in the final last year by eliminating reigning champions Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals, with Manchester United and Barcelona already seen off. Meanwhile, City secured a 4-2 aggregate victory over Borussia Dortmund to secure only their second semi-final appearance.

Pep Guardiola looks to have a score to settle with PSG’s Mauricio Pochettino, who knocked City out the Champions League two years ago with former club Tottenham, on their way to the final.

The Manchester side enter the match buoyed up, after they achieved their first silverware of the season, beating Spurs 1-0 in the Carabao Cup on Sunday, whilst PSG celebrated a 3-1 victory over Metz in Ligue 1.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the match.

When is it?

The match will kick-off at 8pm BST on Wednesday 28 April.

How can I watch?

It will be shown live on BT Sport 2 and BT Sport Ultimate, with coverage getting underway from 7pm. The match is also available to stream for its customers on the BT Sport app and website.

Confirmed line-ups

PSG: Navas, Kimpembe, Marquinhos, Verratti, Mbappe, Paredes, Neymar, Di Maria, Florenzi, Bakker, Gueye

Manchester City: Ederson, Walker, Dias, Stones, Cancelo, Rodrigo, Gundogan, Bernardo, Mahrez, Foden, De Bruyne

Odds

PSG: 9/4

Draw: 14/5

Manchester City: 21/20

Prediction

Both sides feature strong offensive talent, however it is defensively where City could have the advantage. Pep Guardiola’s men have conceded the fewest goals in the Premier League this season and look to be confident at the back. However, given PSG’s run of form in the competition this year, it looks set to go down to a tight second leg at the Etihad on May 4. PSG 1-1 Manchester City
