Paris Saint-Germain are without Joao Neves for the UEFA Super Cup showdown against Tottenham tonight.

Neves was sent-off in PSG's last competitive outing - the Club World Cup final defeat to Chelsea - for violent conduct as he pulled Marc Cucurella's hair.

As a result, the Portugal international is suspended for the meeting between last season's Champions League and Europa League winners.

Warren Zaire-Emery replace Neves, while Desire Doue shifts back into an attacking midfield role with Fabian Ruiz named on the bench.

PSG boss Luis Enrique, who will be on the touchline despite his altercation with Joao Pedro last month, has handed hand summer signing Lucas Chevalier a debut in between the posts. Gianluigi Donnarumma has not been named in the 20-man travelling squad.

In a massive boost for the champions of Europe, Willian Pacho is available again after serving a ban and resumes his partnership with club captain Marquinhos in central defence with Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes at full-back.

Bradley Barcola, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Ousmane Dembele get the nod in attack which means Goncalo Ramos has to settle for a place on the bench.

Senny Mayulu, a scorer in the Champions League final thrashing over Inter Milan, is suffering from muscular discomfort and has been left out of the squad as a precaution, while new addition Illia Zabarnyi has travelled but is not on the squad list.

PSG XI: Chevalier; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Vitinha, Zaire-Emery, Doue; Barcola, Dembele, Kvaratskhelia

Subs: Safonov, Marin, Beraldo, Fabian, Ramos, Lee, Hernandez, Kamara, Mbaye
