Players to watch out for:

Ousmane Dembélé (PSG)

The former FC Barcelona player has shown incredible quality ever since he made the switch to this team last season. He is electric with the way he gets past defenders. The Frenchman has improved his finishing as well. He is the second-highest goalscorer for the club in Ligue 1. Luis Enrique will give him the responsibility of making things happen against AS Monaco

Thilo Kehrer (AS Monaco)

The former Paris Saint-Germain player has been a rock at the back for Monaco. He has played a key role in making AS Monaco one of the best defensive teams in Ligue 1. He is averaging more than five ball recoveries and clearances per game and considering the attacking threat of PSG, his role becomes even more important for Le Rocher
