Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Paris Saint-Germain could line up for Wednesday's Champions League last-16 first leg against Liverpool.

Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique could be working with a fully-fit squad for Wednesday's Champions League last-16 first leg with Liverpool at the Parc des Princes.

The French champions annihilated Brest 10-0 on aggregate in the playoff rounds and also eased past Lille 4-1 in Ligue 1 action at the weekend, their 10th win on the bounce in all tournaments.

As PSG came out of their last league win unscathed, Enrique is set to have every single one of his options available to him and will therefore be blessed with the best kind of selection dilemmas all across the field.

However, one spot that is not up for debate is Marquinhos's, as the Brazilian looks to become the first player to make 100 Champions League starts for a French club and just the fourth player from his nation overall after Roberto Carlos, Dani Alves and ex-partner Thiago Silva.

Nuno Mendes, Gianluigi Donnarumma and Achraf Hakimi will all aid Marquinhos in his defensive efforts, while Willian Pacho should also come back into the rearguard in place of Lucas Beraldo.

Having recovered from a minor issue, Vitinha is also primed to come back into midfield alongside Fabian Ruiz and Joao Neves; rumoured Liverpool target Warren Zaire-Emery should be held back following his recent ankle injury.

Enjoying a phenomenal season in front of goal, Ousmane Dembele should occupy the number nine spot as he looks to build on his 26 strikes for the season already, most likely with Bradley Barcola and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia either side of him.

Paris Saint-Germain possible starting lineup:
Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Ruiz, Vitinha, Neves; Kvaratskhelia, Dembele, Barcola
