PSG are expected to start Ander Herrera, Mauro Icardi, Neymar and Pablo Sarabia, with Kylian Mbappé as a substitute, while Atalanta rely on Papu Gomez, Mario Pasalic and Duvan Zapata.
The Champions League quarter-final kicks off in Lisbon at 20.00 UK time (19.00 GMT).
Neymar alone earns as much as the entire Atalanta squad put together, so there’s no denying who are the favourites going into this clash.

The Champions League quarter-final kicks off in Lisbon at 20.00 UK time (19.00 GMT).
Neymar alone earns as much as the entire Atalanta squad put together, so there’s no denying who are the favourites going into this clash.
Nonetheless, La Dea have made a habit of causing upsets with their spectacular style of football and reached the quarter-finals in their first ever Champions League campaign.
Marco Verratti is injured and Angel Di Maria suspended, while Mbappé should be fit for a spot on the bench after badly spraining his ankle.
According to the latest reports, Herrera will be chosen to fill in for Verratti in the middle of the park, with Marquinhos and Idrissa Gueye.
Neymar will support Sarabia and ex-Inter striker Icardi in a 4-3-1-2 formation.
Atalanta are missing Pierluigi Gollini – who insisted on coming along to Portugal as part of the squad, despite his knee injury – and Josip Ilicic, so Marco Sportiello goes in goal.
Pasalic is the favourite to start with Gomez and Duvan Zapata, as he brings more solidity than Ruslan Malinovskyi in that role.
Gian Piero Gasperini likes to have strong substitutes to come off the bench and shake things up, usually Malinovskyi or Luis Muriel.
Timothy Castagne and Hans Hateboer are battling for the right wing role, with Robin Gosens as always on the left.
Probable line-ups
Atalanta (3-4-2-1): Sportiello; Toloi, Caldara, Djimsiti; Castagne, De Roon, Freuler, Gosens; Gomez, Pasalic; Duvan Zapata
PSG (4-3-1-2): Navas; Kehrer, Thiago Silva, Kimpembe, Bernat; Herrera, Marquinhos, Gueye; Neymar; Sarabia, Icardi
