What’s the French for “cheats”? PSG fans will no doubt bellow it out in both French (“Astuces”) and English on Wednesday night as they become the next team to take on [Manchester City](https://www.football365.com/manchester-city) since the hosts were found guilty by the Premier League.
[**The hostility certainly didn’t put City off at Anfield**](https://www.football365.com/news/liverpool-0-3-manchester-city-jeremy-doku-elliot-anderson-ryan-gravenberch-futility-16-conclusions) where Enzo Maresca’s side continued their 100% start to the season by sweeping aside Liverpool 3-0 at Anfield after the Reds were reduced to 10 men just after the hour.
PSG have made a far less convincing start to their domestic campaign and are only sixth after six games. But in Europe, they gave a reminder why they’ve been crowned champions of Europe for the last two seasons by smashing Slovan Bratislava 6-1 in their opener. That came the night after City had scored a 2-0 away win in Porto.

Man City v PSG odds
-------------------
Man City are 6/5 favourites to win the game and make it nine straight wins in all competitions.

In the outright Champions League betting, PSG are 11/2 to win the tournament for a third straight year while Man City are 9/1.
Man City v PSG prediction
-------------------------
In many ways, a trip to Anfield was the perfect venue for City to go into siege mentality mode.
But how will the dynamics work here? That’s the problem with predicting their games now; there’s lots of psychological guesswork.
PSG have made a sleepy start domestically but the 6-1 win over Bratislava has sparked a four-match winning run.
In short, both sides are in form and both are scoring but letting a few in at the back (City’s last home game was a 5-3 win over Sunderland).
So let’s have a wager on a mini-classic and split stakes between 3-2 Man City at 18/1 and 3-2 PSG at 20/1.
Ousmane Dembele has only played 45 minutes against City but scored in the 4-2 home win last season. He’s also banked three goals in two starts at Anfield and netted the winner in a 1-0 win over Arsenal at The Emirates in 2025 so does well on English grounds.
Back the French frontman to score at 15/8.
A Dembele/Erling Haaland goalscorer double pays 9/2.
