Since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took the Manchester United job on an interim basis just before Christmas, the Red Devils have lost just one out of 16 games in all competitions.

That loss came against Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of the round of 16 courtesy of goals from French internationals Presnel Kimpembe and Kylian Mbappe.

Facing an uphill struggle to qualify in Paris, United must score three times and win by at least two clear goals to progress to the quarter-finals without the suspended Paul Pogba.

They face a team in white hot form, PSG have won their last eight games in all competitions, scoring 20 goals and conceding just two.

Domestic success has been a given for PSG over the past few years, but what the club really want is Champions League glory and many feel that this is the year that the Parisians will mount a serious challenge to win the prestigious trophy for the first time in their history.

What time does it start?

Paris Saint-Germain vs. Manchester United kicks off at 8pm (GMT) on Wednesday 6 March.

Where can I watch it?
