The two-day round of league-phase matches will also feature Manchester City against AEK Athens, Liverpool versus Villarreal and Real Madrid against RB Leipzig.

Defending champions PSG will head into their meeting with Barcelona at the Parc des Princes looking to build on their impressive 4-2 victory over Manchester City in their previous Champions League outing on October 14.

Barcelona, however, have also made a strong start to the competition.

The Spanish giants have won both of their opening matches, including a convincing 4-1 away victory over Galatasaray, and will aim to maintain their perfect record against the reigning European champions.

The encounter will also see Barcelona face PSG manager Luis Enrique, who previously coached the Catalan club.

On Wednesday, Bayern Munich will host Arsenal in another heavyweight clash.

Arsenal go into the match after a comfortable 3-0 victory over Lille, while Bayern were held to a 3-3 draw away to Viking in their previous European fixture.

The match gives Arsenal an opportunity to measure themselves against one of Europe’s established giants, while Bayern will be seeking a return to winning ways.
