Left Winger – Neymar Jr

Neymar is one of the players who has the potential to change the game by himself. The Brazilian has been in great form this season and is hitting top form. Having scored 9 goals and assisted 4 in Ligue 1, there’s no reason for Neymar to not start a game for PSG. They haven’t paid €222 million to have him sit on the bench. Paris Saint-Germain will need Neymar to pull out a few tricks in order to have the upper hand against Napoli.

Center Forward – Edinson Cavani

PSG’s El Matador suffered an unfortunate injury in training before Le Classique which saw him miss two games. Cavani has recovered from the injury but didn’t start against Lille as he wasn’t feeling 100%. an ex-Napoli player and undoubtedly a fan favorite too, Cavani was a cult hero at Napoli and a return to the San Paolo would be really special for the Uruguayan. Beating the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo & Lionel Messi to the Golden Foot Award 2018 last week, Edinson Cavani would be hoping to get back into the starting lineup and trouble the Napoli defense.

Right Winger – Kylian M’bappe

Kylian M’bappe is a mean goal machine. The Frenchman has 11 league goals and 4 assists in the bag and is even the top scorer across Europe’s top 5 leagues. M’bappe was benched for Le Classique as he too was late to a team meeting before the game. However he was bought on and he was the difference between the two teams as he scored the opener and Julian Draxler scored the second in stoppage time. After that he scored against Lille over the weekend too. The 19 year-old has scored in 4 consecutive Ligue 1 games since his 4 goal haul against Lyon and he will be looking to add to his numbers against Napoli. M’bappe is sure to start the game unless he is benched for being late to another team meeting.
