PSG v Tottenham live: Team news and line-ups from Champions League clash

Across major European competition, Tottenham have lost just two of their last 13 games against sides from France (W6 D5), with their last away from home witnessing them draw 0-0 with Monaco in the UEFA Champions League last month.

PSG have lost just one of their last six home Champions League games against English opponents (W4 D1) – a 1-0 defeat to Liverpool in March 2025 at the Round of 16 stage.

Joao Palhinha apologised to the Tottenham fans after a painful 4-1 defeat at rivals Arsenal, but promised a “big reaction” this week.

Spurs were embarrassed by their north London counterparts at Emirates Stadium and conceded twice in each half, while they only produced two shots on target in a total xG (expected goals) tally of 0.07.

Thomas Frank is only five months into his tenure at Tottenham, but this meek display occurred a matter of weeks after a similar tepid performance in a 1-0 home loss to Chelsea and an ominous trip to Paris St Germain on Wednesday is on the horizon.

The potential comeback offers a timely boost for the French giants as they seek to rebound from a recent European setback.

Ballon d’Or winner Dembele has endured a challenging season marked by two separate injury issues, limiting him to just nine appearances.

PSG XI: Chevalier; Zaire-Emery, Zabarnyi, Pacho, Mendes; Ruiz, Vitinha, Neves; Dembele, Barcola, Kvaratskhelia.

Tottenham XI: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Simons, Palhinha, Sarr; Kudus, Kolo Muani, Richarlison.

PSG vs Tottenham is due to kick off at 8pm GMT on Wednesday 26 November at the Parc des Princes in Paris.

Viewers in the United Kingdom can watch the match live on TNT Sports 3, with coverage on the channel from 7pm GMT. A live stream will be available via discovery+.

Tottenham are without Brennan Johnson, who is suspended after his red card against Copenhagen. Randal Kolo Muani, on loan from PSG, could be involved with Uefa allowing players to feature against their parent clubs.

Ousmane Demble could return to the PSG squad in a significant boost for Luis Enrique, although Achraf Hakimi and Desire Doue remain sidelined. Marquinhos could make his 500th appearance for the club.

Spurs manager Thomas Frank faced criticism for a passive approach against Arsenal that resulted in a 4-1 defeat to their north London rivals, and now faces a meeting with last year’s Champions League winners in Paris.

Frank’s side have made a solid enough start to their return to the top tier of European competition, and start the fifth round of fixtures a point behind their opponents.

PSG suffered a defeat to Bayern Munich in their last Champions League outing and will hope to solidify their place in the top eight of the league phase.
