20:30 Both teams are currently warming up, just 15 minutes before kick off.

20:15 According to PSG's official Twitter account, the Ligue 1 champions will be using a 3-5-2 formation away from home, with Aurier, Thiago Silva and Marquinhos featuring in defense.

Starting lineups:

Manchester City: Joe Hart, Gael Clichy, Eliaquim Mangala, Nicolas Otamendi, Bacary Sagna, Fernando, Fernandinho, David Silva, Kevin De Bruyne, Jesus Navas, Sergio Aguero 

PSG: Kevin Trapp, Thiago Silva, Marquinhos, Serge Aurier, Gregory van Der Wiel, Adrien Rabiot, Thiago Motta, Angel Di Maria, Maxwell, Edinson Cavani, Zlatan Ibrahimovic  

19:30 Sergio Aguero also suffered a knock - to his Achilles tendon - against West Brom, but like Otamendi, he is expected to start.

19:00 Kompany is set to be replaced in the starting line-up by Nicolas Otamendi, who suffered an ankle injury against West Brom and missed Monday's training but was declared fit to play by his manager.

18:30 David Silva is in line to Manchester City's starting XI. With Raheem Sterling still absent with a groin injury and Samir Nasri ineligible, the Spain international will be recalled to face the French champions 

18:00 Man City coach Manuel Pellegrini said: "This [City] is a team that is prepared to score goals and a team that is prepared to play. If we think that we need to draw 0-0 then I think we will lose the game because this is not the way we normally play." 

17:30 PSG coach Laurent Blanc said: "We need to perform at the highest possible level, certainly higher than the first game. We didn't have a fantastic game last week and we need to be a bit more efficient but if we create as many chances as we did last week I'm pretty sure we will score more". 

17:15 PSG will have to do without key duo Blaise Matuidi and David Luiz, who are both suspended. 

16:00 Midfielder David Silva, who missed Saturday's 2-1 Premier League win over West Bromwich Albion due to a persistent ankle injury, has also returned to training.

15:45 Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany has returned to training ahead of tonight's clash, the club said on their website

15:00 Out of contract with PSG this summer, Ibrahimovic will need to deliver something against City if he wishes to prolong his stay at the ambitious Qatari-owned outfit.

14:25 Ibrahimovic has 30 goals from 26 league games, but a more modest five in the Champions League this season.

14:00 After a hat-trick in a 4-1 league win over Nice the weekend before last, the 34-year-old striker has equalled his best ever goals tally in a Ligue 1 season and has 39 for the campaign in all competitions.

13:00 PSG have hung their hopes on Ibrahimovic and have been rewarded with a constant flow of goals, assists and towering authority on the pitch and in the dressing room.

12:00 The Parisians were held 2-2 at the Parc des Princes last Wednesday when Ibrahimovic missed a spot-kick and fluffed a one-on-one with Joe Hart, before ruthlessly exploiting a City error to net an equaliser.

11:00 Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain will look to their superstar strikers Cristiano Ronaldo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic in desperate bids to clinch Champions League semi-final berths against Wolfsburg and Manchester City on Tuesday.
