PSG is set to face Villarreal in their UEFA Champions League group-stage match, aiming to extend their perfect run to ten straight victories in every competition, according to The Football Faithful. They have won nine consecutive matches, including 4-2 wins against Manchester City and Barcelona in the Champions League. Their domestic form has also been strong, with a 2-0 win over Lyon and a 5-1 victory against Le Havre. Achraf Hakimi has been performing exceptionally, scoring a hat-trick against Le Havre.

Despite their strong momentum, PSG faces several injury concerns, with Ousmane Dembélé, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Marquinhos, Nuno Mendes, and Alessandro Longoni being unavailable due to various injuries. Luis Enrique is expected to maintain his 4-3-3 formation, with Matvey Safonov likely to start in goal and an attacking trio of Maghnes Akliouche, Ferran Torres, and Désiré Doué. Achraf Hakimi is expected to be a key player, having recently scored a hat-trick.

The predicted starting lineup for PSG includes Safonov in goal, Hakimi, Beraldo, Pacho, and Hernandez at the back, Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, and Fernandez in midfield, and Doue, Torres, and Akliouche in attack. The match against Villarreal is scheduled for 8pm BST on Tuesday, 3rd November, and can be watched live on TNT Sports 4 in the United Kingdom.
