UEFA Champions League
Teams: Paris Saint-Germain vs Manchester United
Date: 6 March
Venue: Parc des Princes
Time: 22:00
Second-half goals from Presnel Kimpembe and Kylian Mbappe saw PSG collect a comfortable 2-0 win at Old Trafford three weeks ago, while Pogba picked up a late second yellow card and is therefore suspended for the rematch.
It was United's biggest ever home defeat in Europe and things will not get any easier at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday night, with the Manchester club currently experiencing a major injury crisis.
Players such as Martial, Jesse Lingard, Nemanja Matic, Alexis Sanchez, Ander Herrera, Juan Mata, Matteo Darmian and Antonio Valencia are all on the treatment table, while Pogba is suspended. PSG, meanwhile, are still missing club-record signing Neymar but Thomas Meunier and Edinson Cavani returned to the bench.
The first leg was the first ever meeting between the two sides, and both clubs are out to end a recent run of UCL round of 16 knockouts. PSG were defeated by Real Madrid and FC Barcelona at this stage in the previous two campaigns, while United was knocked out by Sevilla last year.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side, though, will draw hope from the fact that the Red Devils have progressed in six of their seven knockout clashes with French sides. The first-leg defeat is Solskjaer's only loss since replacing Jose Mourinho, with United winning 13 and drawing two games under the Norwegian.
PSG, though, have lost just three games all season, and are currently on a run of eight successive victories in all competitions.
Here is how both teams will line up:
PSG: Buffon, Alves, Bernat, Di Maria, Draxler, Kehrer, Kimpembe, Marquinhos, Mbappe, Silva, Veratti.
United: De Gea, Bailly, Fred, Lidelof, Lukaka, McTominay, Pereira, Rashford, Shaw, Smalling, Young.
