Newcastle vs. PSG
by Jonathan Johnson
One matchup to watch: Bruno Guimaraes vs. Manuel Ugarte -- Two of South America's top midfield talents go up against each other in Europe. Both the Brazilian and the Uruguayan are backed up by hugely talented positional teammates. Both are very important to their respective teams and the battle for supremacy in the middle of the park will be hugely important in shaping how this one goes. Expect this one to be an enthralling watch with the winner between Guimaraes and Ugarte potentially finding themselves on the victorious side.
Most likely to score a goal: Kylian Mbappe -- Considering his goalless outing over the weekend in a game he could have been rested for given his recent injury, the French superstar will want to make up for lost time. Mbappe's start to the season has been outrageously fast when you consider that he has missed a few games and Newcastle will have their hands full with PSG's all-French attacking lineup.
Man of the Match pick: Warren Zaire-Emery -- Rested over the weekend after a very good start to the season, the French sensation showed his impressive maturity in the opening win over Borussia Dortmund. Expect another composed display here with Zaire-Emery putting the underrated Ugarte in the shade as PSG flash their continental pedigree in a tricky matchup.
Match prediction: Newcastle 0-2 PSG -- This one will generate plenty of pregame chatter due to the fact that a Saudi-owned club is coming up against a Qatari-backed side. However, the Magpies are still getting used to being at this level and PSG are regulars when it comes to lookiing convincing in the group stages. Expect an uncharacteristically strong team display from Les Parisiens as Luis Enrique's vision takes further shape.

RB Leipzig vs. Manchester City
by James Benge
One matchup to watch: Mohamed Simakan vs. Erling Haaland - Curious as it is to write the following clause, Craig Dawson offered something of a masterclass in how to defend world football's deadliest striker in Saturday's win for Wolves over City. The veteran center back stuck to Haaland almost ahead of any other defensive task, would Simakan or one of his fellow Leipzig defenders be willing to do the same even if it opens up space for others? It might be a gamble worth taking.
Most likely to score a goal: Haaland - It says everything about City's striker that it feels a little like he has gone off the boil in a season where he has eight goals in 10 games. So far this season he is averaging 0.79 non-penalty expected goals, some teams aren't hitting those numbers. Simakan could deliver a Dawson-esque game and still get undone by the one chance Haaland always gets.

Man of the Match pick: Julian Alvarez - Given the breach in the City side that Kevin De Bruyne's injury seemed to constitute, it has been remarkable to see how well Pep Guardiola's men have coped by simply plugging and playing Alvarez. The World Cup winner is not quite up to the levels of Europe's greatest playmaker but he is creating chances for himself and others, delivering in the clutch as he did in the opening group game against Crvena zvezda.
Match prediction: Leipzig 0, Man City 2 - The hosts have attacking weapons in abundance that might hurt plenty of good teams but even after their loss at the weekend, City still have the look of a defensive juggernaut who are only going to give up a handful of shots, few if any of which will constitute real openings. Unless Leipzig can profit from rare moments, this could be a customary win with relative comfort for the holders.
