After eliminating Revel (Regional 1) and Orléans (National) in the previous rounds, PSG is tackling a much tougher task this Wednesday evening (9:10 p.m.) in the Coupe de France.
The capital club is playing its round of 16 against Stade Brestois, 3rd in Ligue 1, ten days after being held to a draw on the same pitch at the Parc des Princes in the championship (2-2).
To hope to continue the adventure, Paris will have to do better and with other players than those used during the draw conceded in Ligue 1.
As since the start of PSG's Coupe de France campaign, Luis Enrique will make several adjustments to his composition, starting with the goalkeeper.
Gianluigi Donnarumma should once again give way to Keylor Navas, who had already kept the Parisian cage during the two previous rounds.
Asensio ready to move on?
In defense, Nordi Mukiele could make his return as a starter at left back, more than two months after his last appearance in the starting lineup.
The French international would take advantage of Lucas Hernandez's suspension to scrape a few minutes.
On the other side, we should find Carlos Soler, unconvincing in this position on Friday in Strasbourg, while the Marquinhos-Danilo pair, separated these last two matches, could be renewed.
Left on the bench in Alsace, Vitinha should regain a place in the midfield with Warren Zaire-Emery and Marco Asensio at his side.
Scorer against Brest and Strasbourg, the Spaniard was convincing during his last appearances and should have another opportunity to showcase himself.

In attack, Ousmane Dembélé could well make his return to the eleven, he who started on the bench against the Bretons and missed the trip to Strasbourg due to thigh discomfort.
In the absence of Randal Kolo Muani, affected by a virus, Luis Enrique should trust Kylian Mbappé and Gonçalo Ramos to complete his attacking trio.
The probable composition of PSG
: Navas – Soler, Marquinhos (cap.), Danilo, Mukiele – Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, Asensio – Dembélé, Ramos, Mbappé.
